Extract intensities along polyline ROI?

[Kenneth Sloan-2]

I want to specify a polyline and then extract image intensities along that
polyline, preferably with an adjustable step size.  Looks easy, but I
thought I would check to see if there is a standard tool that will do the
job.

Eventually, this will be a java plugin - I'll probably need to add a few
complications (for example, searching a small region NEAR the points along
the polyline for maximum intensity pixels.  But, for now, I'm interested in
quick and dirty, if it exists.

Hi Kenneth,

you can use the command Edit>Selection>Interpolate.
For example this  macro uses an interval of 8, and for checking
maxima in zz use Array.findMaxima().



newImage("Untitled", "8-bit ramp", 200, 200, 1);
makeLine(40,60,140,70,95,135);
run("Interpolate", "interval=8 adjust");
getSelectionCoordinates(xx, yy);
len = xx.length;
zz = newArray(len);
for(jj = 0; jj < len; jj++)
        zz[jj] = getPixel(xx[jj], yy[jj]);

Thanks.

A few novice questions:

a) Interpolate will work with the current ROI, which can be a poly line?
b) getSelectionCoordinates fetches the results of Interpolate?
c) is this easy to convert to a Java plugin (not a macro)?


Going off to read the API…
