ImageJ is a Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for
|
|
the Macintosh. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print
|
|
8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats
|
|
including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports
|
|
"stacks", a series of images that share a single window. It is multi-
|
|
threaded, so time-consuming operations such as image file reading can
|
|
be performed in parallel with other operations.
|
|
|
|
ImageJ can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined
|
|
selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density
|
|
histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image
|
|
processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening,
|
|
smoothing, edge detection and median filtering.
|
|
|
|
ImageJ does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation and
|
|
flips. Image can be zoomed up to 32:1 and down to 1:32. All analysis
|
|
and processing functions are available at any magnification factor.
|
|
The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously,
|
|
limited only by available memory.
|
|
|
|
Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional
|
|
measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale
|
|
calibration is also available.
|
|
|
|
ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides
|
|
extensibility via Java plugins. User-written plugins make it possible
|
|
to solve almost any image processing or analysis problem.
|
|
|
|
This includes the following additional plugins:
|
|
1) Bio-Formats.
|
|
2) UCSD confocal microscopy plugins.
|
|
|

For a complete list of available plugins, check the corresponding
|
|
section at the program website.
