How to combine more than two stacks?
 
|
Hi,
I have 9 time-lapse stacks (1 channel only), with 13 timepoints (slices) per stack, taken from 9 separate fields. I'd like to make a larger 'mega-stack' with the 9 stacks stitched together (NOT concatenated). Right now, I use the Image->Stacks->Tools->Combine function to combine two of these stacks into one, then save that one, then do it again and again and again... There must be a faster/easier way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Brian -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

Dear Brian,
Why aren't you using Image>Stacks>Tools>Concatenete? This method able to combine 4 stacks in one shot. And for further automatization you should use the Plugins>Macros>Record... on one concatenation and then use macros.

Hi,
So Concatenate just puts the images at the end of one another, which doesn't help. Unless I'm misunderstanding your point.

Dear Brian,
> So Concatenate just puts the images at the end of one another, which doesn't help. Sorry if I was too fast within my explanations and thus let me go a little bit further. So for your applications I see 3 ways to come out (at least frol your description) 1) You stay with the Image->Stacks->Tools->Combine method you described and to make things faster you create a macro by using the macro recorder as a guide. 2) You use the Concatenate method I described which will then indeed "put the images at the end of one another". And once done, you use an "ad hoc" Image>Hyperstacks>Stack_to_hyperstack... method (i.e. you have to set the hyperstack order depending on how your data are formated, xyczt is by default) where the channel input will be your 9 separatly acquired fields. 3) You open different stacks of your separatly acquired fields and by using Analyze>Tools>Synchronize_windows you look at similarities in the different pictures windows. So hoping I made you move further now I wish you a nice day (and night for me).

Hi Brian,
I just want to add one more suggestion to the list of previous suggestions. I might have misunderstood you, but I had the impression that you wanted to create a stack of 13 images (one fore each time point), where each image shows a 3x3 montage of one time point. If that is what you are aiming for, I would start by concatenating your 9 stacks. Then you can make a 3x3 montage, but set the increment to 13. Repeat, but set the start slice ('First slice') to 2, and so on until you have a montage for each time point. You can then combine the 13 montages into a single stack. Doing this would certainly being much quicker by writing a little macro. The code below should do it: imageTitle=getTitle(); for (i = 0; i < 14; i++) { selectWindow(imageTitle); run("Make Montage...", "columns=3 rows=3 scale=0.25 first="+i); }; run("Images to Stack", "name=Stack title=[] use"); Hope this helps, Volko ________________________________ From: CARL Philippe (LBP) <[hidden email]> Sent: 09 October 2019 22:32 To: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: How to combine more than two stacks?
