ImageJ is a Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI, University of Wisconsin). Its first version, ImageJ 1.x, is developed in the public domain, while ImageJ2 and the related projects SciJava, ImgLib2, and SCIFIO are licensed with a permissive BSD-2 license. ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable macros. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ's built-in editor and a Java co

The [ImageJ mailing list] and [Image.sc Forum] for community support. The [Contributing] page of the ImageJ wiki for details on how to contribute. Versions up to 1.48q are in the SciJava Maven repository. Versions starting with 1.48r are on Maven Central. Be aware that versions prior to 1.53k may not identically match the corresponding release tags here in this repository. The [Apache Ant] utility will compile and run ImageJ using the build.xml file in this directory. There is a version of Ant at set up to use the JVM distributed with the Windows version of ImageJ. The README included in the ZIP archive has more information. mvn Compile and package ImageJ into a JAR file in the target directory. mvn -Pexec Compile and then run ImageJ. mvn javadoc:javadoc Generate the project Javadoc in the target/apidocs directory.

ImageJ is a Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI, University of Wisconsin). Its first version, ImageJ 1.x, is developed in the public domain, while ImageJ2 and the related projects SciJava, ImgLib2, and SCIFIO are licensed with a permissive BSD-2 license. ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable macros. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ's built-in editor and a Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve many image processing and analysis problems, from three-dimensional live-cell imaging to radiological image processing, multiple imaging system data comparisons to automated hematology systems. ImageJ's plugin architecture and built-in development environment has made it a popular platform for teaching image processing.
ImageJ can be run as an online applet, a downloadable application, or on any computer with a Java 5 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions are available for Microsoft Windows, the classic Mac OS, macOS, Linux, and the Sharp Zaurus PDA. The source code for ImageJ is freely available.
