Hi Phil,
My name is Doug Snyder, I'm a student taking time off before grad
school and I might be able to help you with the migration to ImageJ ( or
a python based imaging platform that is also platform independent and
opensource if that suits your needs ). I graduated from Univ of
Connecticut with BS degrees in Molecular Biology and Mathematics, have
had a total of six undergraduate research positions and have been
working doing imaging and Java development in the last few years.
One problem is that I don't have any direct knowledge of the NIH
Image package but would be more than willing to learn this. If there was
a flat fee that we agreed on, then perhaps I could do some background
research on NIH Image and be gaining some valuable experience while not
being paid for the extra time that it takes me. The down side, of course
would be that it might take longer than if there was someone with more
direct experience with NIH Image. So if time is very critical than maybe
you would want to find help elsewhere.
A question I had is whether you ( or someone you know) knows,
generally, at least, what the code does . . . i.e. the general algorithm
for determining the pore sizes? This might be more useful than the exact
code, or the code with some errors in it, and may help in debugging any
problems that arise mid way to the solution. Or if you have images of or
the extracted data from the pores that show the different steps of the
process that could also be quite helpful.
Let me know if you think I might be able to help you out.
Best
Doug Snyder
