This plugin can be used to estimate nonlinear distortions induced by the image acquisition process[1] . It does not require special calibration samples, but needs sufficient overlapping image areas with preferably high contrast. For further information on how to best arrange calibration images please see the documentation.
This software implements an active contour (a.k.a. snake) segmentation method using exponential splines as basis functions to represent the outline of the shape. While the snake is versatile enough to provide a good approximation of any closed curve in the plane, its most important feature is that it perfectly reproduces circular and elliptical shapes. These features are very appropriate to delineate cross sections of cylindrical-like conduits and to outline blob-like objects.
Color Inspector 3D is also available as a stand-alone program that uses ImageJ as a library. To run it, download ColorInspector3D.jar and double click on it. On Windows, Java 5.0 or later must be installed
