Thank you all for your responses so far. To answer your question Adam, I
am an engineer for a goverment facility that uses a large volume of imaging
devices (high-speed, infrared, etc) a big issue within our community to to
standardize a series of proceures for evaluating/verifying the performance
of the electro-optical devices. As a result of extensive research, I have
created a series of testing procedures for performing these experiments.
The reason why I am trying to work towards a user friendly gui that the
user can interact with is because the goal I am aiming towards is to
provide to several other similar facilities a program to use in evaluating
their own imaging devices. I figured this would make it a lot easier to
use (and a lot more work for me!). One reason why I have stuck with imageJ
is because the document I wrote is specifically geared towards using image
to processing and measuring all my test images. Another major reason is
that ImageJ is open source and could be distributed to any facility that
wanted it for free. The general consensus is that this would be a huge
undertaking for someone like myself with virtually no background in
programming.....and the consensus is right. I figured it would be a lot of
work but I would figure it out on my own (unlikely). Anyways, I would be
more than glad to provide some of the procedures to the list to view if
anyone is curious in attempting to help me with this. I opted not to ask
list members to help me tackle this because I felt like it was too big of
a project to simply ask people to help me do. Plus I find ImageJ to be a
very useful resource for image processing and I would love to learn how to
write quality plugins for extending its capabilities. But I realize this
dream is a long way down the road if I go that route. Anyways that my long
drawn out story. Any thoughts?
