As there is always a constant stream of inquiries for techniques to
process a certain set or type of data, an over abundance of custom
solutions already prepared, and a plethora of plugins and techniques,
it would be beneficial for someone to create a simple flowchart and
process modeling tool which will effectively help individuals who want
to do a task but have no background in image or data analytics.
In some specific cases, for example, the goal is to simply measure
something more effectively to support and enhance conventional data
recording processes. A lichen, for example, is a fairly simple fast
record to create and log, but have very high value in modeling the
environmental conditions of a region.
A lichen, though, is a toubling little thing to view and measure with
images, as are long thin plants like descenders from trees in a
forrest. (vines)
Lichens have no crisp boundary and tend to have similar colors as the
environment.
A flowchart to help identify the most effective method of processing,
the profiling and data variability of the data sources or target, and
the most efficient method of processing would be very helpful for many
users.
A flowchart in UML style models would be the first suggestion, and
inclusion of plugin (and 3rd party independent systems) would help
facilitate a simple task, like measuring a spot, be more accessable
and useful.
LICHEN:
color variation, statistical profiling of color consistency,
background/target isolation, edge verificaion (i would use matrix
differentiation with color, IJ's export restrictions still prevent
that) and particulate modeling with cluster groupings per quality,
allowing for distinction between targets and re-collection of
seperated particles where the image does not provide sufficient data.
Otherwise, if the target color can be isolated (seed profile colors
and extentsprofiling) then obviously the thresholding over color will
provide particles with maximal etents.
IJ does not handle color based processing due to government ad
Commerce restrictions, even after decades of use.
With a flowchart in place with confirmed examples of use, I'm sure a
set of lichens could already have been processed, rather than forcing
the 1 per 100 interested parties to make a fuzzy public inquiry while
all others never get the opportunity.
IJ+uml scripting/flowchart modeling with profiling and task
description/education, anyone?
