Small experimental GUI software developed to test a basic threshold technique to extract single pollen pictures from a single microscopic image. It heavily relies on BoofCV libraries to work and more information about thresholding in BoofCV can be found here.
This software exposes 6 parameters in a user-friendly UI with automatic updates to the preview window, marking each detection with a precise contour (in red) and a bounding box (in green), each can be used further to improve detection.
- Java 1.7
- BoofCV library
- Maven
Execute with polen_detector.jar <image_path>
where <image_path>
is the full path of the image to be analyzed by the software.
I have no plans on updating this project (there are multiple things that could be improved) since it started just as a proof of concept on thresholding as a segmentation technique in pollen images that showed to be very imprecise.
