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.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at the framework of macros and plugins that are available in ImageJ. We looked at some of the constructs that the ImageJ API exposes for use in scripting and plugins. Finally, we described how to set up an IDE to develop ImageJ and plugins using it as standalone project or as a Maven-based project. You also saw how to generate documentation using the Javadoc utility.

In the next chapter, we will look at some plugins that are available and how they provide a solution to image-processing problems.
