Key benefits

Design automated image-processing solutions and speed up image-processing tasks with ImageJ
Create quality and intuitive interfaces for image processing by developing a basic framework for ImageJ plugins.
Tackle even the most sophisticated datasets and complex images

Description

Advances in image processing have been vital for the scientific and technological communities, making it possible to analyze images in greater detail than ever before. But as images become larger and more complex, advanced processing techniques are required. ImageJ is built for the modern challenges of image processing – it’s one of the key tools in its development, letting you automate basic tasks so you can focus on sophisticated, in depth analysis. This book demonstrates how to put ImageJ into practice. It outlines its key features and demonstrates how to create your own image processing applications using macros and ImageJ plugins. Once you’ve got to grips with the basics of ImageJ, you’ll then discover how to build a number of different image processing solutions. From simple tasks to advanced and automated image processing, you’ll gain confidence with this innovative and powerful tool – however and whatever you are using it for.

Who is this book for?

The book has been created for engineers, scientists, and developers eager to tackle image processing with one of the leading tools available. No prior knowledge of ImageJ is needed. Familiarity with Java programming will be required for readers to code their own routines using ImageJ.

Four stars, because the book is very informative on ImageJ and basic principles of image processing (I am up to page 55, so far). It is let down by the images being all in greyscale, while the captions repeatedly refer to colour features in the images. One image so far appears to be not printed at all.Some of the images for the processes described do not seem to be available from the Packt website(I will edit if this changes), but the samples provided by ImageJ are so far all available. Useful book, poor publishing and support.

Somebody needs to write a tutorial book on ImageJ. These authors tried, but this is not a good book. Seriously - black and white photos are used to explain color gamut. Where was the editor? The book has the feeling of being thin, especially for $40. I don't know what else to recommend - there are some PDF tutorials up on the web, perhaps those would be better.

Either the publisher has a cruel sense of humor, or I was shipped a defective copy. All of the images are grayscale in this book, which seems like a significant oversight given 1) the nature of the subject matter and 2) that the authors make explicit mention to the colors in sample images multiple times.Perhaps the most egregious example of this mismatch is an image on page 81, with the following description on page 82: "The shapes with a circularity of 1.00 are colored orange (ellipse) and light green (oval). The red ellipse has a very low circularity (0.28), while the cyan oval has an intermediate circularity (0.48)." To reiterate, the image in question is in grayscale.Adding insult to injury, the images are of a uniformly poor quality. This is highlighted on page 23, where the authors compare a photo of Lenna that they attempt to deliberately reduce in quality by repeated JPEG compressions. However, the photos are indistinguishable! This is something that the authors or editor should have noticed.Concerning the didactic content of the book, it tries to strike a nice balance between material for the absolute beginner (chapters 1-5), intermediate users (chapter 6), and advanced users/developers (chapter 7-9). But, depth is definitely not its strong suit.Were the book not plagued by image quality issues, it would be easier to view this as just a mediocre book (2 stars), but given these reasons, it is impossible to rate anything but 1 star.Attached are the two images referenced from the book.
