Anyone have comments on ImageJS?

Hi Blackledge,


> Anyone have comments on ImageJS?


It is exciting to think about an ImageJ that could work with large
multidimensional data remotely from the web browser.

But ImageJS in its current incarnation looks like a toy to me. From the
prototype (http://imagejs.github.com), it hardly appears to do anything. I
think it is awfully early to be publicizing the tool: there have only been
58 commits to master so far, and there is a grand total of 915 lines of JS
code. The development doesn't appear to be very active, either (see
https://github.com/imagejs/imagejs.github.com/commits/master). Lastly, it
seems very misleading to claim that it is "like ImageJ, but in JavaScript"
since I don't really see any similarities to ImageJ.

What I would like to see is an effort to harness the ImageJ2 infrastructure
from Javascript. With ImageJ2 we are trying to isolate parts of the
codebase that could be reused in a web browser. A Javascript layer would
still need to be created, but it could communicate with a server-side Java
application that embeds ImageJ2, using technologies such as Hessian, Apache
Thrift or ZeroC Ice. Tools like OMERO (http://openmicroscopy.org/) are the
way to go here. Ultimately we are striving to provide a proper separation
of concerns that makes possible even an Android app, or code powered by the
Google Web Toolkit.

Regards,
Curtis

Hi All,

If there are plans for web integration of IJ2 the first thing that we have to do is to implement XMLHttp object (unfortunately native for Mozilla and M$). Before doing that there is hardly any place for using JavaScript to its full potential.

Best regards,

Dimiter
