ImageJ overview

ImageJ is a public domain Java image-viewing and -processing program. It runs either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.6 or later virtual machine, and can provide image analytics and basic editing functions.

What’s new in version 1.54m

Note: Although Finder indicates that this is version 1.53, the developer states that this is version 1.54m.

  • Thanks to Michael Cammer, the Orthogonal Views command no longer removes overlays.
  • Thanks to 'Patricia' and Herbie Gluender, the Image>Transform>Image to Results command now shows NaNs when values are outside non-rectangular selections.
  • Thanks to Kevin Terretaz, Command Finder (Plugins>Utilities>Find Commands) filtering is more precise and flexible. It now splits the input into individual words and returns commands where all words are found in either the command name or the menu path.
  • Thanks to 'Jerry1144', added the setOption("SetIJMenuBar",boolean) macro function.
  • Thanks to Kenneth Sloan, added the Roi.setMinStrokeWidth(minStrokeWidth) macro function and Java method that you can use to specify a minimum scaled stroke width (example).
  • Thanks to Bram van den Broek, fixed bug with duplicating hyperstacks when the selection was outside the image border.
  • Thanks to Giovanni Cardone and Michael Schmid, fixed bug with right arrow in dialog box sliders not working as expected on Linux and Windows.
  • Thanks to Giovanni Cardone and Michael Schmid, fixed bug where the ImageProcessor.getLine() method returned a smaller than expected array with horizontal lines with a width equal to the image width or vertical lines with a length equal to the image height.
  • Thanks to Peter Dodok, fixed bug with recording in Fiji headless mode.
  • Thanks to Jerome Mutterer, fixed bug where the -ijpath command line option is not respected when using the -batch option.
  • Thanks to Guenter Pudmich, fixed bug with the calculation of 16 and 32 bit histogram bin widths.
  • Thanks to Gilles Carpentier, fixed several Hyperstack type conversion bugs.
  • Thanks to 'scouser27', fixed bug with ROI Manager "Multi Measure" command when "Measure all n slices" was not checked and "One row per slice" was.
  • Thanks to 'scouser27', fixed a bug with how perimeters of rotated rectangle selections are calculated.
  • Thanks to Jurgen_Gluch and Ved Sharma, fixed bugs where the charAt() macro function would return a number instead of a string and would throw an exception if the index was out of range.
  • Fixed a 1.54i regression that caused the Command Finder to throw an exception when clicking on a blank field.

ImageJ deserves your continued appreciation. I'm in a physics department. ImageJ is widely used by our students in both physics and astronomy contexts. It is loaded on well over 50 computers in the department. It gets used in labs, research, and homework. Some of the time it is used for cosmetics (minor image processing, addition of graphical elements such as circles and arrows). Sometimes it is used analytically. As much as we use it, I'm sure we have only touched on its breadth and depth. It is free, actively maintained, and widely appreciated in the scientific community. Stable, extremely functional, and not hard to learn. Do not be put off by its lack of glitz. It is a gem.

I really wish I knew about this app when I was in college. Apart from professional image analysis and general editing, it can be very helpful for students in signal processing/image processing to understand how transforms and filters work. Thanks to the devs.
