Autocorrelation of frames in a time series

Colin Rickman
Hi,

I have a time series of 200 images and would like to analyse the
autocorrelation of the intensity for each pixel between frames. I tried
using the Image CorrelationJ plugin (www.gcsca.net) which performed part
of the analysis I wanted but only between each pair of adjacent frames
(ie frame 1 vs 2, 2 vs 3,...etc). Ideally I would like to be able to
preform the same analysis over an ever expanding interval size up to the
maximum (ie between frame 1 and 200) with an output of frame interval
size, mean R value, SD, n.

Does anybody know if such a macro/plugin exists. If not would anybody be
interested in writing such a plugin?

Colin

Dear Colin Rickman,

if I understand your project correctly, the resulting ACF will
consist in a series of 399 images, each of the "n x m"-size of the
images of the input time series. In other words, autocorrelation is
to be performed along the time axis only, but separately for each
pixel position which means the computation of "n x m" one-dimensional
ACFs.

Essentially this is a one-dimensional signal processing task. If you
don't want to code it as a ImageJ macro, you may export the "n x m"
pixel time series to one of the many signal processing packages.
