There are a number of mini-projects/ideas in the ImageJ wiki site (the
Wishlikst http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=wishlist:start) which I have
been wondering whether they would be suitable. I am adding some more here:

1) Alpha_shapes / concave_hull (could be part of item 7 below)

2) Bilateral Filtering

3) Colorizing algorithms (i.e greyscale to colour,there are several methods)

4) Retinex algorithm

5) Interactively adjustable intensity/LUT curves (not just linear controls,
but splines/etc based)

6) Support for storing ROIs in TIFF tag fields, so ROIs can be saved with the
images).

7) Graph Theory constructs (in addition to the Delaunay/Voronoi)

8) Expand the ImageFlow module base (not sure if the source is available yet).

9) Object (rather than image) selector/sorter (something like Kai's pixolu.de  
If you haven't tried it, you should) to create "objects like these"
filters/classifiers to be extracted from images and sets of images.

10) Interface between R and ImageJ/Fiji (Dimiter has done something like this,
but it would be nice to have a set of implemented procedures so IJ/Fiji can
run statistical procedures directly from Results tables, etc)

11) A set of more powerful painting brushes and image editing tools.

12) Cross platform webcam support (to produce cheap videomicroscope/telescope
units)

13) Statistical region merging segmentation:

14) Fractal interpolation resizing (from the GIMP GSoC entry)

15) A unique/common segmentation interface (I have collected near 15 new
histogram segmentation methods that would be better put under a single
interface together with others already available).

16) A javascript Recorder (similar to the Macro Recorder but producing
javascript instead).

17) Virtual microscope-like image viewer.

18) HSB/Lab painting modes

Is that wild enough? :-) I am sure others will have further ideas.
Cheers,

Gabriel
