Image J

ImageJ
ImageJ is a Java-based image processing program developed at

the National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical
ImageJ
and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI, University of
Wisconsin).[1][2] Its first version, ImageJ 1.x, is developed in the
public domain, while ImageJ2 and the related projects SciJava,
ImgLib2, and SCIFIO are licensed with a permissive BSD-2
license.[3] ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that
provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable macros.[4]
Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be
developed using ImageJ's built-in editor and a Java compiler. User-
written plugins make it possible to solve many image processing
and analysis problems, from three-dimensional live-cell imaging[5]
to radiological image processing,[6] multiple imaging system data
comparisons[7] to automated hematology systems.[8] ImageJ's
plugin architecture and built-in development environment has
made it a popular platform for teaching image processing.[9][10]
ImageJ can be run as an online applet, a downloadable application,

supports standard image processing functions such as logical and
arithmetical operations between images, contrast manipulation, convolution, Fourier analysis, sharpening,
smoothing, edge detection, and median filtering. It does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation,
and flips. The program supports any number of images simultaneously, limited only by available memory.
History
Before the release of ImageJ in 1997, a similar freeware image analysis program known as NIH Image had
been developed in Object Pascal for Macintosh computers running pre-OS X operating systems. Further
development of this code continues in the form of Image SXM, a variant tailored for physical research of
scanning microscope images. A Windows version – ported by Scion Corporation (now defunct), so-called
Scion Image for Windows – was also developed. Both versions are still available but – in contrast to NIH
Image – closed-source.[11]
