Image Processing with ImageJ

Overview of this book

Digital image processing is an increasingly important field across a vast array of scientific disciplines. ImageJ's long history and ever-growing user base makes it a perfect candidate for solving daily tasks involving all kinds of image analysis processes. Image Processing with ImageJ is a practical book that will guide you from the most basic analysis techniques to the fine details of implementing new functionalities through the ImageJ plugin system, all of it through the use of examples and practical cases. ImageJ is an excellent public domain imaging analysis platform that can be very easily used for almost all your image processing needs. Image Processing with ImageJ will start by showing you how to open a number of different images, become familiar with the different options, and perform simple analysis operations using the provided image samples. You will also learn how to make modifications through ImageJ filters and how to make local measurements using the selections system. You will also find the instructions necessary to record all the steps you perform so they can be saved and re-run on the same image to ensure analysis reproducibility. Finally, you will get to know some different ImageJ plugins and will learn how to implement your own.

About the Authors

José María Mateos Pérez is a Spanish researcher and a Ph.D. student in the Medical Imaging Laboratory of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (http://image.hggm.es), in Madrid, where his main research lines deal with automatic segmentation and kinetic analysis modeling of dynamic nuclear imaging sequences. He has also been an experienced ImageJ user and has developed several macros and plugins. One of them, jClustering, has been published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed journal. When he has enough time to procrastinate, he also likes to develop data analysis tools in Python and R.

Javier Pascau received his Ph.D. from Polytechnic University in Madrid, in 2006, and is currently a visiting professor at Carlos III University in Madrid. He has been a part of the Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation Group, a research laboratory with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists, biologists, and physicians located both in the university and Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, (biig.uc3m.es). His research and teaching cover areas such as medical image processing, analysis, quantification, and multimodal registration, both in preclinical and clinical environments. He has been involved in the development of small animal PET and CT devices, and in the last few years he has led several projects on intraoperative radiation therapy and image guided surgery. He has authored more than 30 papers, published in peer-reviewed journals over the last 13 years.
