Endrov: An image analysis platform

Byscientist

ImageJ is one of the popular image analysis programs along with Fiji, Bioimage and Icy. There is another program that is used for image analysis that has several qualities that make it very useful. It is written completely in Java and so can run on multiple platforms, is object oriented for image storage that enables the annotation and the image data to be stored such that they can be addressed independently. It can read multiple formats of images and has more than 140 image processing operations.

Even the user interface is unique. It is available for free and overcomes several limitations in ImageJ and commercial software packages. Definitely, a program to check out…

    In the field of imaging there is another branch of image acquisition/analysis/study that is called Computational Photography as distinguished from traditional photography. In traditional photography, with a regular camera, you take a picture of a 3D scene through a camera. This light from the scene is captured as a 2-dimensional representation onto a photo-sensitive surface,…

  • Imaging through rain.

    Start with the application: A set of headlights that can enable the driver to see through the falling rain. Typically, it is difficult to see through rain because water droplets reflect the light that is reflected back from the water droplet. However, rain is not constant and it should be possible to time the light…

    Super resolution microscopy One of the problems with Quantum dots and some fluorescent proteins/molecules is that they blink. And they all photo-bleach. Bayesian analysis of blinking and bleaching or 3B microscopy analyzes images using Hidden Markov Model (HMM) allows useful information to be extracted from the data. Dr Susan Cox has come up with unique…

    David Brady of Duke University published a paper in Nature in 2012 (Brady DJ, Nature 486, 386) on 50 Gigapixel camera. The technology was interesting in that it used small camera’s that were coupled through a big lens. This may be a good strategy to make large cameras rather than depend on major lenses and…
