Image Processing with ImageJ - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Advances in image processing have been vital for the scientific and technological communities, making it possible to analyze images in greater detail than ever before. But as images become larger and more complex, advanced processing techniques are required. ImageJ is built for the modern challenges of image processing – it’s one of the key tools in its development, letting you automate basic tasks so you can focus on sophisticated, in depth analysis. This book demonstrates how to put ImageJ into practice. It outlines its key features and demonstrates how to create your own image processing applications using macros and ImageJ plugins. Once you’ve got to grips with the basics of ImageJ, you’ll then discover how to build a number of different image processing solutions. From simple tasks to advanced and automated image processing, you’ll gain confidence with this innovative and powerful tool – however and whatever you are using it for.

When developing code, it can be useful to check whether certain solutions to your problem already exist. When a good implementation already exists and is used, it saves you time in developing a library or functions. For example, many good solutions to generate Excel files exist in the form of libraries written in Java. One such example is the Apache POI project, which allows for the reading and writing of Excel files (and other Microsoft Office products). Implementations of this library exist for many software packages as well as other Java-based software. For instance, the xlwrite wrapper function developed for Matlab by Alec de Zegher uses the Apache POI project to create Excel files (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38591). It should not to be confused with the .xlswrite wrapper function supplied by MATLAB, which uses ActiveX to write Excel files, thereby requiring a Windows platform.
