Variance of Z axis profile

ericbarnhill
Given a stack, I would like to create a summary image of the variance  
of each pixel in the stack as it goes down the Z axis, that is to say,  
the variance point to point in the "plot Z axis profile" function.

A simpler way to describe it is, I want to capture how much each point  
is flickering as opposed to changing smoothly.

Has anyone seen a plugin that does something like this, and if not,  
would there be a way to access this information through the  
"ZAxisProfiler" object?

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

One way to create a Variance image from a stack would be as follows:  With
the stack open in ImageJ, go to Image > Stacks > Z Projection.  In the Z
Projection window select standard deviation and click OK.  Then Square the
standard deviation image by going to Process > Math > Square.  If you need
to do this many times, you can record a macro of the process.  To record a
macro go to Plugins > Macros > Record and then run through the process of
creating the variance image.  I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Aaron.
