FACE : Fast mean Absolute difference with Confidence propagation for Extended depth of field

Bright field microscopes with low depth of field provide good magnification and image quality. However, samples generally have a thickness greater than the depth of field, thus being not entirely observable within the viewing distances intervals and preventing the creation of sharp images. It is possible to gradually...

Allows drawing over an image. Can be used to define a binary mask. It can also be used to modify an existing binary mask. Update 20190507 : adding the modification of an existing binary mask

Read NMR 2D text file

Compute a NMR 2D image from a text file exported from Bruker TopSpin software.

3D histogram automatic segmentation

This plugin offers image segmentation algorithms for 3D volume using a global approach based on the histogram. Depending on the application and the type of image, several criteria are available to detect many objects of interest [Otsu, 1979] [Diday, 1971] [Dempster, 1987] or few objects [Kapur, 1985] [ Huang, 1995]. A...

Mathematical morphology basic operations

Mathematical morphology has been introduced by Matheron and Serra [Serra, 1982] in the late 1960's. It defines among others, two basic operators: dilation and erosion. These tools and their combinations are powerful and widespread for filtering and image analysis. For instance, operations such as opening, closing or...

Binary border kill morphological operation. Delete all connected components that touch the border of the image.

Overlay signals

Visualize and compare several signals by transparency display. Each signal can be translated and loaded independently.

3D height visualization

Visualize 3D volume behind the current plane. The algorithm uses a fast distance transform and gradient trick to give the impression of 3D iso-surface visualization. These work is inspired by those of Luc Vincent (see below), adapted to the visualization of a 3D volume. Take the opportunity to take a look at the other...

Signal auto smoothing

The classical approaches of noise reduction do not adapt well to the variety of signals that can be encountered for different analysis methods (chromatography, XRD, Raman ...). The parameterization of these methods is often complex, with many parameters not very explicit or not intuitive and to be adapted according to...
