Local Z Projector is an ImageJ2 plugin, available in Fiji, that can perform local-Z projection of a 3D stack, possibly over time, possibly very large.

LZP performs projection of a surface of interest on a 2D plane from a 3D image. It is a simple tool that focuses on usability and is designed to be adaptable to many different use cases and image quality.

• It can work with 3D movies over time with multiple channels.
• It can work with images much larger than available RAM out of the box.
• It takes advantage of computers with multiple cores, and can be used in scripts.

MSER based on implementation in imglib2 provided as an interactive GUI tool for spot detection in 2/3/4D images.

QuantiFish is a quantification program intended for measuring fluorescence in images of zebrafish, although use with images of other specimens is possible. This package is geared towards analysis of fluorescent infection models. The software is designed to automate processing of images of single fish, and outputs results as a .csv file. Alongside measures of total fluorescence above a threshold, this package also introduces several measures for dissemination and distribution of fluorescence throughout the specimen.

Histology Topography Cytometry Analysis Toolbox (histoCAT) is a package to visualize and analyse multiplexed image cytometry data interactively. It can also export data in.fcs data for further analysis using  a specialized cytometry sofwtare such as Flowjo. 

It can be run as a compiled standalone or from matlab.

Analyze the clustering behavior of nuclei in 3D images. The centers of the nuclei are detected. The nuclei are filtered by the presence of a signal in a different channel. The clustering is done with the density based algorithm DBSCAN. The nearest neighbor distances between all nuclei and those outside and inside of the clusters are calculated.

ND-SAFIR is a software for denoising n-dimentionnal images especially dedicated to microscopy image sequence analysis. It is able to deal with 2D, 3D, 2D+time, 3D+time images have one or more color channel. It is adapted to Gaussian and Poisson-Gaussian noise which are usually encountered in photonic imaging. Several papers describe the detail of the method used in ndsafir to recover noise free images (see references).

It is available either in Metamorph (commercial version), either as command line tool. Source are available on demand.

Deep learning based image restoration methods have recently been made available to restore images from under-exposed imaging conditions, increase spatio-temporal resolution (CARE) or self-supervised image denoising (Noise2Void). These powerful methods outperform conventional state-of-the-art methods and leverage down-stream analyses significantly such as segmentation and quantification.

To bring these new tools to a broader platform in the image analysis community, we developed a simple Jupyter based graphical user interface for CARE and Noise2Void, which lowers the burden for non-programmers and biologists to access these powerful methods in their daily routine.  CARE-less supports temporal, multi-channel image and volumetric data and many file formats by using the bioformats library. The user is guided through the different computation steps via inline documentation. For standard use cases, the graphical user interface exposes the most relevant parameters such as patch size and number of training iterations, while expert users still have access to advanced parameters such as U-net depth and kernel sizes. In addition, CARE-less provides visual outputs for training convergence and restoration quality. Any project settings can be stored and reused from command line for processing on compute clusters. The generated output files preserve important meta-data such as pixel sizes, axial spacing and time intervals.

The ImageM application proposes an integrated user interface that facilitates the processing and the analysis of multi-dimensional images within the Matlab environment. It provides a user-friendly visualization of multi-dimensional images, a collection of image processing algorithms and methods for analysis of images, the management of spatial calibration, and facilities for the analysis of multi-variate images. Its graphical user interface is largely inspired from the open source software "ImageJ". ImageM can also be run on the open source alternative software to Matlab, Octave.

ImageM is freely distributed on GitHub: https://github.com/mattools/ImageM.

Yet another pixel classifier Yapic is a deep learning tool to :

train your own filter to enhance the structure of your choice 

train multiple filter at once 

it is based on the u-net convolutional filter . 

To train it : annotation can come from example from Ilastik software , tif labelled files can be transferred to yapic. 

Training takes about hours to days , prediction takes seconds once trained .

It can be ran from command line .

note that only 10 to 20 images with sparse labeling are required for efficient training 

This is the ImageJ/Fiji plugin for StarDist, a cell/nuclei detection method for microscopy images with star-convex shape priors ( typically for Dapi like staining of nuclei). The plugin can be used to apply already trained models to new images.

The Morphonet Python API provide an easy interface to interact directly with the MorphoNet server. Very useful to upload, download your dataset and superimpose on it any quantitative and quantitative informations.

Nuclei tracking in 2D time-lapse with Octave tracker (adapted from Matlab LOBSTER version).

Object tracking. For each time-frame, an image mask is obtained from median filtering (user defined radius), thresholding (user defined level) and hole filling. Convex objects are split apart by distance map watershed from regional intensity maxima (user defined noise tolerance), eroded (user defined radius) and analyzed as 3D particles (assuming some overlap between objects from a frame to the next frame). Finally, division events are analyzed and accounted for to relabel objects.
