imcflibs 1.5.0a1

Mostly ImageJ/Fiji-related Python helper functions.

IMCFlibs 🐍 ☕ 🔩 🔧 🪛

This package contains a diverse collection of Python functions dealing with paths, I/O (file handles, ...), strings etc. and tons of Fiji / ImageJ2 convenience wrappers to simplify scripting and reduce cross-script redundanciees.

Initially this has been a multi-purpose package where a substantial part had been useful in CPython as well. However, since the latest Jython release is still based on Python 2.7 (see the Jython 3 roadmap for more info), imcflibs is now basically limited to the Fiji / ImageJ2 ecosystem (which is also the reason why no pip installable package is provided).

Releases are made through Maven and published to the SciJava Maven repository. The easiest way to use the lib is by adding the IMCF Uni Basel update site to your ImageJ installation.

Developed and provided by the Imaging Core Facility (IMCF) of the Biozentrum, University of Basel, Switzerland.

Example usage

Shading correction / projection

Apply a shading correction model and create a maximum-intensity projection:

from imcflibs.imagej.shading import correct_and_project

model = "/path/to/shading_model.tif"
raw_image = "/path/to/raw_data/image.ome.tif"
out_path = "/path/to/processed_data/"

correct_and_project(raw_image, out_path, model, "Maximum", ".ics")
