A short tutorial on how to develop, deploy and run ImageJ/Fiji scripts and Java plugins within your IDE simultaneously

This plugin detects a minimum cost z-surface in a 3D volume. A z surface is a topographic map indicating the altitude z as a function of the position (x,y) in the image. The cost of the surface depends on pixel intensity the surface is going through. This plugin find the z-surface with the lowest intensity in an image.

The interactive Watershed Fiji plugin provides an interactive way to explore local maxima and threshold values while a resulting label map is updated on the fly.

After the user has found a reliable parameter configuration, it is possible to apply the same parameters to other images in a headless mode, for example via ImageJ macro scripting.

The Jupyter Notebook is the original web application for creating and sharing computational documents. It offers a simple, streamlined, document-centric experience.

Try Jupyter (https://try.jupyter.org) is a site for trying out the Jupyter Notebook, equipped with kernels for several different languages (Julia, R, C++, Scheme, Ruby) without installing anything. Click the link below to go to the page.

Maxima finding algorithm implemented in Python recreated from implementation in Fiji(ImageJ)

This is a re-implementation of the java plugin written by Michael Schmid and Wayne Rasband for ImageJ. The original java code source can be found in: https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/source/ij/plugin/filter/MaximumFinder.java.html 

In this session, we will cover the basics of ImageJ macro programming using a simple example: how to quantify signal enrichment at the nuclear rim? Trainees will (re)discover how to record actions, plan a workflow and organise their code. This session will alternate presentation of technical points, to be directly applied during practical exercises. The macro will progressively complexify as new notions are taught.

This script includes a rough feature detection and then fine 2D Gaussian algorithm to fit Gaussians within detected regions. This macro is unique because the ImageJ/Fiji curve fitting API only supports 1-D curve. I get around this by linearising the equation. This implementation is for isotropic (spherical) or anistropic (longer in x/y) diagonally covariant Gaussians but not fully covariant Gaussians (anisotropic and rotated). 

Please ask here if you want to be upgraded to a confirmed tagger. It means that you can also modify other curators' entries.

SIMPLETRACKER a simple particle tracking algorithm that can deal with gaps.

Tracking , or particle linking, consist in re-building the trajectories of one or several particles as they move along time. Their position is reported at each frame, but their identity is yet unknown: we do not know what particle in one frame corresponding to a particle in the previous frame. Tracking algorithms aim at providing a solution for this problem. 

FoCuS-point is stand-alone software for TCSPC correlation and analysis. FoCuS-point utilizes advanced time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) correlation algorithms along with time-gated filtering and innovative data visualization. The software has been designed to be highly user-friendly and is tailored to handle batches of data with tools designed to process files in bulk. FoCuS-point also includes advanced diffusion curve fitting algorithms which allow the parameters of the correlation functions and thus the kinetics of diffusion to be established quickly and efficiently.

Mean square displacement (MSD) analysis is a technique commonly used in colloidal studies and biophysics to determine what is the mode of displacement of particles followed over time. In particular, it can help determine whether the particle is:

• freely diffusing;
• transported;
• bound and limited in its movement.

On top of this, it can also derive an estimate of the parameters of the movement, such as the diffusion coefficient.

FoCuS-scan is software for processing and analysis of large-scale scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) data. FoCuS-scan can correlate data acquired on conventional turn-key confocal systems and in the form of xt image carpets.

Biocat is a java based software that allows to perform image classification or segmentation using machine learning. Several algorithm for the classification are available.

Non linear registration intensity based for MRI brain exams. To be applied after FLIRT

FLIRT (FMRIB's Linear Image Registration Tool) is a fully automated robust and accurate tool for linear (affine) intra- and inter-modal brain image registration.

FLIRT comes with a main GUI as well as three supporting guis:

• ApplyXFM - for applying saved transformations and changing FOVs
• InvertXFM - for inverting saved transformations
• ConcatXFM - for concatenating saved transformations

Acquiarium is open source software (GPL) for carrying out the common pipeline of many spatial cell studies using fluorescence microscopy. It addresses image capture, raw image correction, image segmentation, quantification of segmented objects and their spatial arrangement, volume rendering, and statistical evaluation.
