Software

The software packages provided here are all written in the Java programming language and are intended as plugins to ImageJ, the Java-based image processing environment developed at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Currently the following packages are available:

• MTrackJ
  Manual tracking of moving objects in (2D or 3D) image sequences and the measurement of basic track statistics. Originally developed for tracking spots in time-lapse fluorescence microscopy images. Can also be used for visualizing the output of automatic tracking algorithms.
• NeuronJ
  Computer-aided delineation of elongated image structures and the measurement of basic length statistics. Developed primarily to facilitate the tracing and quantification of neurites in 2D fluorescence microscopy images.
• TransformJ
  Geometric transformation (shifting, rotation, scaling, affine transformation) and manipulation (embedding, cropping, mirroring, turning) of image data sets (up to 5D) using simple (nearest-neighbor and linear) and more complex (cubic and quintic) interpolation methods.
• FeatureJ
  Extraction of spatial features (derivatives, Canny edges, Laplacian zero-crossings, eigenvalues of the Hessian, eigenvalues of the structure tensor, and statistics) from gray-scale images and image sequences (up to 5D) at arbitrary Gaussian smoothing scales.
• RandomJ
  Introduction of randomness (additive or multiplicative) into gray-scale images and image sequences (up to 5D) using different discrete (binomial, Poisson) and continuous (uniform, Gaussian or normal, exponential, gamma) random number generators.
