Updated interest in Matlab / ImageJ interface

[Heeschen, Bill (WA)]

Greetings all.
A while back (2003) there were several postings related to interfacing ImageJ with Matlab.  In particular the postings from Alan H. Baydush, Bryan Smith and James Cheong were quite helpful.  Does anyone have other examples of using ImageJ to perform image processing/analysis tasks from Matlab that they have written up (web sites, journal articles, etc.)?  I am about to embark on that journey and would appreciate learning from the experience of others.  I think I can figure out how to call the various functions of ImageJ (plugins, etc.) and retrieve the resulting image, but I'm most curious about returning numeric results to Matlab for further processing.  It looks like the MIJ plugin assists image movement, but I don't see anything to allow data (like the results table?) to move back and forth.
Best Regards,

Bill

My company (TMT) has created an ImageJ/MatLab application that analyses
patient symptom drawings (for example, pain diagrams), generates composite
images for various patient groups and computes various statistics such as
the standard deviation of the individual outlines around the metacentroid of
a composite image.

Each digitized pain drawing is analyzed to provide measures of size
(calculated pain area and Total Pain Load), centroid location, outline
(perimeter), location point of worst pain, shape type, and anatomic areas
occupied by pain. In addition, computationally simpler surrogates (such as
application of an ellipsoid model to the pain shape with calculation of the
long and short axes) can be used. The values from individual drawings are
then used to compute statistics and associated ImageJ displays for various
patient groups.
(see  http://masterdocs.com/drawing_analysis.htm).

We also provide a number of web-based medical questionnaires that allow
patients to draw their symptoms on-line and receive automated medical
reports.
