any image database that can be integrated in ImageJ?

Hi everyone,

before I start reinventing the wheel:

Is anyone of you aware of an image database that can be integrated in  
ImageJ?

Features that I would like:

- Adding keywords, free text (annotations), quality rating to images  
(and possibly more)
- Offline use, with possibility for syncing with central server (the  
easiest would be WebDAV via the file system; setting up MySQL without  
security problems seems more difficult). Syncing with several users  
working on one database would probably be easiest with timestamps,  
the last edit of each item replacing old edits.
- Image name (best without extension, with or without directory with  
respect to some base path) as image identification
- Separate databases for different directories/sets of directories
- Should work on Windows and Mac OS X
- Of course open source, so I can modify it according to my needs.

It's not integrated with ImageJ, but you should take a look at the  
Open Microscopy Environment (OME).

There is currently a plugin for downloading images from the OME database into ImageJ. However we in the OME consortium are working to improve this plugin, including adding functionality for upload and download and taking advantage of the FIJI  (http://fiji.sc/) and ImageJ2 efforts (www.imagejdev.org). 

Please contact us if any questions.

Hi all,

OME looks great, but I need something that runs also offline.

Does 'downloading' mentioned mean that I will be able to have a local copy on my computer?
Ideally, after some offline editing it would be nice if I could sync the annotations etc with the server.

Michael

Hi, theoretically by downloading and uploading images between the times you are offline, you could work with those images offline but then you have to have imagej/software running the whole time your offline and you would not be able to search the database etc while offline, this is not a good solution for most users.  Implementing offline replication in a image-database solution is not a easy thing to do, which is why you will find image-databasess either as personal editions (local to your machine) or shared with other users ( data and queries run on server, no offline replication). Do you have a requirement for being offline or off-site and working with the database? If its for working off-site would it not be a better solution to use a VPN when your off-site? It will solve the security questions and offer the biggest flexibility to your users since we live in a connected world.

best regards,

Tomas

Hi Michael,

I have a solution from ImageJ. I use it to upload measurements while the image files are kept locally.
The underlying DB is MySQL.
I can work in personal mode (local MySQL installation); intranet (MySQL client; remote MySQL server DB account) and Internet
AJAX client. But it is NOT an image DB as such, thus  quite different philosophy from OME.

Best regards,

Dimiter Prodanov
