imagej - A Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image.
Contents
Description
Imagej is a Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health. ImageJ
was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable
macros. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ's built-in
editor and a Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve many image processing and
analysis problems, from 3-dimensional live-cell imaging,
to radiological image processing, multiple imaging system data comparisons to automated hematology
systems. ImageJ's plugin architecture and built in development environment has made it a popular
platform for teaching image processing.
ImageJ can be run as an online applet, a downloadable application, or on any computer with a Java 1.1 or
later virtual machine.
Examples
For compiling plugins:
imagej -c
