Sorry if my first post was vague. I would like to replicate the
functionality that was provided by the object file in Object-Image.
Creating an object file involved defining the measurements that one
was interested in and then measuring these over many pictures. In this
way the data automation process could be automated since the object
file would store the file name of the image and the measurements that
were taken. After that point it was a simple matter of exporting the
object file results and importing them to Excel. My main question is
if this functionality is available in ImageJ or if I would need to
write a plugin to achieve it.
