ORMA MicroImage Analyzer
is a Java image processing software that runs on any computer
with a Java 1.1 or later virtual machine.
Distributions are available for Windows, and in the next future
for Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux.
It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including
TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw".
It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single
window.
It is multithreaded, so time-consuming operations such as
image file reading can be performed in parallel with other
operations.
It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined
selections. It can measure distances and angles.
It can create density histograms and line profile plots.
It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast
manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median
filtering. It does geometric transformations such as scaling,
rotation and flips. Image can be zoomed up to 32:1 and down
to 1:32.
All analysis and processing functions are available at any
magnification factor.
The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously,
limited only by available memory. Spatial calibration is available
to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such
as millimeters. Density or gray scale calibration is also
available.
ORMA MicroImage Analyzer is designed with
an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java
plugins (Advanced Version). Custom acquisition, analysis and
processing plugins can be developed using ORMA MicroImage
Analyzer’s built in editor (Advanced Version) and a Java compiler
(included in the Windows version of ORMA Micro). User-written
plugins make it possible to solve almost any image processing
or analysis problem.
ORMA MicroImage Analyzer has been developed
on Windows using its built in editor and Java compiler plus
the Ant build tool.
It is an extension of ImageJ by Wayne Rasband (Research Services
Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland,
USA) inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh.
ORMA MicroImage Analyzer executable file for Windows is a
renamed copy of the Marner Java Launcher. The ORMA MicroImage
Analyzer Windows installer is created using the Inno Setup
installer generator. To acquire images from USB devices in
Windows Asprise JTwain libraries are used. ORMA MicroImage
Analyzer is developed by BEL Photonics® and is freely distributed
with ORMA products. It cannot be sold. Parts of the program
are Copyright protected, such as JTwain libraries and the
implementation of some functions.
The "ORMA MicroImage Analyzer" window contains
a menu bar (the first time at the top of the screen, then
it reopens where it has been left the last time the program
was used), tool bar, status bar, and a progress bar. At the
upper-right corner of the screen there is the Palette Toolbar.
Images, histograms, line profile, etc. are displayed in additional
windows. Measurement results are displayed in the "Results"
window. Windows can be dragged around the screen and resized.
Histograms and plots are ordinary image windows that can be
copied (to the internal clipboard and to the system clipboard),
edited, printed and saved. |
