ImageJ Enhancements

Sarel Botha
Good Day List,

We have an interest in furthering development of ImageJ and
concentrating on the following areas:

1.       Conversion into a light-weight applet,

2.       Simplifying the user interface,

3.       Making ImageJ more suitable for general usage as an image
viewer,

4.       Reorganizing the source tree for development optimization

5.       Integrating multi-platform scanning

We'd like to get as many other developers as possible involved to work
on these items and any other enhancements they would like to implement.

The idea is to use the current ImageJ source code as the base code for
all new development. The licensing for all code contributed will remain
as Public Domain. Last night a project called ImageJA was registered
with SourceForge. All feature enhancements made to ImageJA will be
submitted as enhancements to ImageJ. ImageJA will always remain a
derivative work of Wayne Rasband's ImageJ and all effort will be made to
preserve this reference.

The project is located at  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageja/>
http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageja/ and the main web site is at
<http://imageja.sf.net/> http://imageja.sf.net. The project also has two
mailing lists (one for users and one for development). We have already
imported the latest stable code into CVS.

We hope we can work together on enhancing the excellent code that has
been produced thus far.

Thanks,

Sarel Botha

Was this inspired by my request to have ImageJ enhanced. I have been
searching for someone to do this and now you are going to do it for free?

Good Day,

Our idea was not directly linked to your request. The enhancements we are wanting to do are more for general image usage via applets and then giving back to ImageJ without condition. We also wanted to give an avenue for open source developers to quickly and easily make changes that will benefit everyone (and stay public domain!).

I am not personally familiar with dicom x-ray images, but if it is popular enough it might be added to the codebase depending on who enters development.

Thanks,
Steve

Dear Sarel,

Please note that ImageJ is NOT a general purpose image viewer.
There are hundreds of those in the web.
ImageJ is a piece of excellent scientific software, so
simplifications may ultimately harm its intended use.
So apart from this I have several questions on the aims of
the proposed project:

1) How do you define lightweight? 20KB, 100KB, 500KB?

2) How do you think to reorganize the source tree? This may indeed be a
useful step to introduce in ImageJ.

3) What features do you plan to sacriface for the purposes of your project?

best regards

D Prodanov

Hello ImageJers,

I get a lot of your emails, and usually read them all so
I don't mind sending in another small message of my own.
It relates a bit to the "new UI" email I included below...

I am doing development work now to build an advanced UI to work with or
alongside of ImageJ capabilities.
It will be a proprietary media stream handling GUI for play back of
video frame data for still frame analysis.  
The frame rate is quite low, so its ok for Java.

It probably doesn't relate to any of the work the list is doing.
Also, I won't be able to contribute any of my work to the group.

But the technology I've chosen maybe an upgrade path for the ImageJ
work.
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/
I've skinned ImageJ with SWT, and I'm in the process of merging the
Image container
handling for user presentation.   This won't affect at all any core
ImagePlus or plugin
 work, except the Image view will be in this sort of look:

http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Image-Viewer/Image_viewer.html
http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-images/graphics-resources.html
http://eclipse.org/articles/main.html#SWT

Also how one will navigate ImageStacks will more resemble how one would
interface with a VCR,
instead of the current Slider control.
cheers,

-Aaron

Hello,

This is very interesting: I like ImageJ, but find the look&feel is less
than optimal. I really like the SWT/Eclipse look&feel. Just a personal
feeling... just for a little bit of encouragement.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean
