The root tools help to efficiently measure the following characteristics of plant roots: the angle of the opening of the whole root the depth to which it goes down the number of roots at multiple depths (for example 30cm, 35cm, ...) the diameters of the roots at multiple depths (for example 30cm, 35cm, ...)

HDF5 is a data format for storing extremely large and complex data collections. This Fiji/ImageJ HDF5 plugin saves and loads 2D - 5D datasets with flexible options.

In Fiji, the plugin is downloadable via update site "HDF5".

Variational algorithms to remove stationary noise. Application to microscopy imaging. This plugin allows to denoise images degraded with stationary noise. Stationary noise can be seen as a generalization of the standard white noise. Typical applications of this plugin are:

- Standard white noise denoising using a total variation and fidelity term minimization. Even though total variation denoising is not the state of the art (regarding SNR improvement), it may be very valuable for further tasks such as image seg- mentation).

- Destriping (the problem that motivated us to develop these ideas). 

- Deconvolution (even though most users won't be able to use this feature).

- Cartoon + texture decomposition which might be useful to compress images, analyse textures or simplify segmentation like tasks.

A Jython script using the plugin : Register Virtual Stack Slices It takes a sequence of image slices stored in a folder, and delivers a list of registered image slices (with enlarged canvas). One of the images in the sequence can be selected by the user as reference and it will remain intact. The plugin can perform 6 types of image registration techniques: - Translation - Rigid (translation + rotation) - Similarity (translation + rotation + isotropic scaling) - Affine - Elastic (via bUnwarpJ with cubic B-splines) - Moving least squares All models are aided by automatically extracted SIFT features.

This plugin will return on a full 256-grey level image (limitation in this version) or on a ROI several texture features such as described in Haralick publication. Can be run in batch mode.

For each ROI, provides the ratio of pixels over a given threshold over the total number of pixels in the ROI.

This method allows to compute a threshold that preserves the moments of an image. In ImageJ/Fiji, you can access it in Image->Ajust->Threshold and choose Moments in the list. In Aphelion, the tool is in Segmentation->Threshold->AphImgMomentThreshold The original paper is 2449
