Open Source MATLAB Image Processing Software

The purpose of this program is to teach a computer to classify plants via their leaves. You just need to input the image of a leaf(acquired from scanner or camera), then the computer can tell you what kind of plant it is.

The MatrixUser project is moving to GitHub, the latest version can be obtained from https://leoliuf.github.io/MatrixUser/ Most of the medical images (e.g. CT, MRI, PET, etc.) comprises multiple frames which represent slices, phases, timing etc. from the same imaging object. Those images can be saved as multidimensional matrices in Matlab thanks to Matlab's powerful support of multidimensional data representation. However, within Matlab, most of image manipulation functions are limited or tailored for processing two-dimensional matrix. The MatrixUser is a software package which features functions designed and optimized specifically for manipulating multidimensional real or complex data matrix. MatrixUser provides a nice graphical environment for easily performing image analysis tasks including multidimensional image display, matrix (image stack) processing and rendering etc. MatrixUser is a great lightweight tool for users who are working in image processing field under Matlab.

Reconstruction and Visualization from a Single Projection (ReViSP) tool: a 3D volume rendering method we developed to reconstruct the 3D shape of multicellular spheroids, besides estimating the volume by counting the voxels (3D pixels) fully included in the 3D surface. ReViSP is written in MATLAB (The MathWorks, Inc., Massachusetts, USA) and the source code is freely provided. Requirements for running ReViSP from the source code: MATLAB 2020a and Image Processing Toolbox 11.1 or later versions. Please, when using this software, cite these articles: (a) F. Piccinini, et al., Cancer multicellular spheroids: Volume assessment from a single 2D projection. Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 118(2):95–106, 2015. (b) F.

TracTrac is a Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) software which is extremely fast (more than 10k points tracked per second, 100k under python) and accurate (up to 0.01 pixel resolution), forming thus a good concurrent to the state-of-the art PIV/PTV algorithms. It allows to track anything that moves: birds, ants, grains, water flows... It runs on Python (v2&3) or Matlab (>2012a with Image Processing toolbox). Give it a try !

F-Tracker3D is acronym of "fluorescent cell tracker in three-dimensions". It is a software tool designed to track fluorescent cells using time-lapse z-stacks of images acquired with a confocal or light-sheet microscope. First, each single cell is tracked in 2D by using the maximum intensity projections of the z-stacks and CellTracker, the free open source software available at: www.celltracker.website. Then, the 3D track of each cell is obtained analysing the z-stacks and looking for the z-plane with the maximum intensity value for the different x-y positions previously determined. F-Tracker3D is written in MATLAB (©, The MathWorks, Inc., Massachusetts, USA) and the source code is freely provided. Requirements: MATLAB 2015a and Image Processing Toolbox 9.2 or later versions.
