Acknowledgments

FeatureJ was first developed at the Biomedical Imaging Group of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, when I was working on an interactive technique for the tracing and quantification of neurites in fluorescence microscopy images. The algorithms are largely based on well-known methods found in the literature. Nevertheless, writing a general purpose package such as FeatureJ is not completely trivial. Therefore, if you publish results that are based on FeatureJ, I expect you to acknowledge me. Thanks in advance.
