Hi Surveyor,
we implemented SIFT and MOPS-like feature extraction as ImageJ plugins.
You can download and use what we currently have from the Fiji-project:
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=fiji.git;a=blob;f=precompiled/mpicbg_.jarand browse the sources here:
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=mpicbg.git;a=treeAn explanation of the parameters is here:
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Feature_ExtractionSince the code is very much historically grown, expect a much simpler
interface to it in the next release which is planned to appear in
November.
I assume that this is probably not the kind of features that you are
looking for. Anyway---they can be used for fully automatic mosaicking
aerial photographs or to map close-ups into overview images.
You might also be interested in TrakEM2 by Albert Cardona
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/TrakEM2and a web-view to a data set created with it
http://fly.mpi-cbg.de/?pid=10&zp=540&yp=36393.9626&xp=52593.3364&sid0=10&s0=1since handling gigantic microscopy data sets is very much related to
GIS.
Best regards,
Stephan
P.S.: I wish your sunbrand is not too serious ;)
