Matrix operation for ImageJ

[Pang, Zhengyu (GE Global Research)]

Dear all,

Could I read an image and convert image into a matrix, and then perform
some calculation on the matrix. I know that Matlab Image Processing
Toolbox can read an image into a metrice using A=imread() function.
Could ImageJ perfom similarly?

Thanks!

Hi Zhenyu,

are you talking Macro or Java/Plugin code?

ImageJ is slighltly less "automated" than MatLab here, but in a plugin you
can get a reference to the image data
as a 1D array (getPixels()) and convert it to any nD-matrix structure you
like with a simple loop or work directly on the
data using proper indexing.

General Matrix processing again is not a part of ImageJ, but there are a
zillion of free Java packages (MTFMatrix, JAMA, ....)
that can be integrated easily!

Sincerely

Joachim

I recently i anounced a new version of the software Bio7 (Window, Linux will follow later!) which is capable to transfer image data from an embedded imageJ version as a matrix with the help of a server to R. R itself is very powerful for matrix calculations.
In addition Bio7 offers an R shell to work directly with the transfered data in the R workspace.
The manipulated data then can be sent back to imageJ or evaluated and statistical analysed with R.

Typical things that you can do with R and imageJ are to classify data , interpolate
spatial data or visualize matrix data from R.

The software can be downloaded here:

Only if you don't know R:
The R language itself is an interpreted language but frequently uses compiled c,c++,fortran code to accomplish a task which makes it also very usable for image data.

With kind regards
