Image Processing with ImageJ

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 developed a legacy plugin from scratch using the Maven system and the NetBeans IDE. We applied some of the image processing techniques that we learned in the previous chapters in our plugin. We saw how to add a basic user interface to our plugin, allowing the user to change some of the parameters that influence the way the plugin functions. We also saw how to store our settings in the preferences so that they can be recalled the next time we use the plugin. We added an external library to provide additional functionality that was not present in ImageJ. Finally, we looked at an automated way of publishing our plugin and sharing it with the world.

In the next chapter, we will look at the resources that are available to further your knowledge and skills in image processing and project development.
