I have been considering two possible image handling frameworks for the software portion of my project: ImageMagick and ImageJ. Both seem to have very well documented APIs and modular structures. I have installed ImageMagick from source in my home directory on quark, and I have ImageJ on my own machine. (My machine has an old version of ImageMagick on it as it turns out.) I will be trying-out these two frameworks to see which one best fits my project.

ImageMagick

  • Pros:
    • Is oriented towards batch processing
    • Can be used with many languages through different APIs
    • Could be faster than ImageJ
  • Cons:
    • Does not seem to have as many scientific analysis modules as ImageJ

ImageJ

  • Pros:
    • Has many analysis plugins that are very much like the kinds of things that I will need to be doing
    • I have played with this program a little and it has some interesting transforms
    • Plugin code can be moved across platforms easily
  • Cons:
    • Is completely in Java, a language that I don't know
    • Is not oriented towards batch processing as much as ImageMagick
