Description:
JMicroVision was designed to describe, measure, quantify and classify components of all kinds of images. It has an intuitive user interface with powerful features and supports very large images (more than 1 GB, even with a computer with little memory). JMicroVision contains tools having various degrees of automation in order to handle with complex and varied images. Like a microscope, it enables a dynamic observation of a specimen with the possibility of combining various focus or modes of lighting (polarized light, fluorescence …). Moreover, the magnifying lens and the multiview tool allow a simultaneous view of several images, each one having its own zoom coefficient while keeping a joint position in the center.

JMicroVision has been developed especially to analyze high definition images of rock thin sections, but it can easily be used in other domains.
Main Features

    * Read images in TIFF, BMP, FlashPiX, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and PNM formats
    * Efficient visualization system
    * Quantify components: objects or background
    * Object analysis (size, shape, orientation, texture ...)
    * Object classification
    * Image processing (binary and morphology operations, filtering, segmentation...)
    * Image rectification (geometric corrections by control points)
    * Digital point counting
    * Tools for data collection in one or two dimensions
    * Image annotation and description card
    * Profile (variation of granulometry, density, objects or background)
    * Save all measures, data, calibration and preferences in a single project file

Manual, Help files, and plugins are also available at http://www.jmicrovision.com/resources.htm

Uses Java and works on Linux, Mac, Windows, and Solaris

Applications are diverse, and especially useful for microscope images, e.g. medical, biology, geology, metallurgy, etc

Thanks for this request. Can you please update this with the specific license it is released under so our dev's don't have to go looking?

Thank you for taking the time to help make Ubuntu better!

Thanks for submitting this package request and any supporting documentation. Since this package request has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
