/Directionality

A Fiji plugin for inferring the main orientation of structures in an image.

Primary LanguageJava

Directionality

This Fiji plugin is used to infer the preferred orientation of structures present in the input image. It computes a histogram indicating the amount of structures in a given direction. Images with completely isotropic content are expected to give a flat histogram, whereas images in which there is a preferred orientation are expected to give a histogram with a peak at that orientation.

A toy extra analysis step fits the histogram with a gaussian to measure the main orientation and its spread.
