OT | tool categories

[Rainer M. Engel]

Hello everyone,

we recently came across the difficulty of sorting filters/tools into
appropriate categories in a more general manner. Many software packages
use their own group names which differ a lot and the best way is to
search for a distinct filter via i.e. "Find command (Strg+L)" [in
ImageJ] in contrast to snooping through the menu structures.

If you want to help, building a general hierarchy for every type of
filter known to you, please have a look here.

Everyone can make edits to this document! So feel free to go on. I hope
this works ..

I'm also open for discussions (here), since I wonder myself, where to
sort one or another filter/tool. Any help is much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

This is a noble effort. If the community settles on some standards here, we
would love to see the categories at http://imagej.net/Techniques reflect
the same terminology.

Regards,
Curtis

Hey Curtis,

you may be right about that. But it would be nice to have this kind of
reference/standard. Even if it isn't perfect in every case, it sure
would provide a sustainable overall structure.

Speaking for ImageJ i.e., the binary filters refer to a certain data
type and provide different tools for processing. This is nice, as long
as these "filters" do only work on this type of image data.
But I would like do be more general, since min/max
(Erode/Dilate)-Filters would also apply on higher quantization and
multiple channel images i.e. in compositing.

I added a question block underneath the list and I will also try to
incorporate the list you provided.

Regards,
Rainer
