4 ImageJ2 is a new version of ImageJ for the next generation of multidimensional image data, with a focus on scientific imaging. Its central goal is to broaden the paradigm of ImageJ beyond the limitations of ImageJ 1.x, to support the next generation of multidimensional scientific imaging.

6 Fiji is an image processing package. It can be described as a "batteries-included" distribution of ImageJ (and ImageJ2), bundling Java, Java3D and a lot of plugins organized into a coherent menu structure. Fiji compares to ImageJ as Ubuntu compares to Linux.

31 Galaxy ImageJ2 tool wrappers generate a command line that calls a Python script, passing it a series of arguments including a Jython script named jython_script.py that resides in the same directory as the tool wrapper. During tool execution, the Python script will call ImageJ2 with the --headless argument to run without the ImageJ2 GUI. The Jython script is also passed to ImageJ2 along with all command line arguments that it expects. ImageJ2 will execute the Jython script, passing the expected arguments. The command line to run ImageJ2 from a Galaxy tool wrapper looks something like this:

35 Each tool execution starts the ImageJ2 application within a Java virtual machine (JVM). When ImageJ2 is finished processing the Jython script, the results are either written to a file or returned to the calling Galaxy process. The JVM is shut down, and the Galaxy job terminates. This approach provides the ability to run ImageJ2 tools from Galaxy on any supported HPC environment.

37 Of course, eliminating the ImageJ2 GUI restricts us to wrapping only those ImageJ2 plugins that do not require any GUI components (i.e., the ImageJ2 window manager). Plugins are written by an open community, so not all of them are written in such a way that they can be executed from the command line and produce useful results. For example, some plugins create one or more images that can only be accessed via calls to the ImageJ2 window manager, and running in headless mode eliminates the window manager as well as other GUI components.

39 Those familiar with ImageJ2 will find differences with this general pattern for executing ImageJ2 tools within Galaxy. ImageJ2 accounts for user defined global preferences which are available to tools throughout the session, and an image can be uploaded and run through any number of available tools, saving only the final image. While Galaxy currently does not account for user preferences defined in ImageJ2, enhancements to the Galaxy framework are planned that will accomodate these kinds of settings (e.g., binary image options). Also, since Galaxy initiates a new ImageJ2 session with each tool execution, initial images are uploaded to ImageJ2 and resulting images are saved for each tool execution.

71 * **Skeletonize images** - Uses the Skeletonize3D plugin to find the centerlines (”skeleton”) of objects in the input image. Skeletonize3d is a plugin written by Ignacio Arganda-Carreras that offers several advantages over the legacy skeletonization algorithm of ImageJ available in the Process → Binary → Skeletonize menu item. Skeletonize works only with binary 2D images. Skeletonize3D works with 8-bit 2D images and stacks, expecting the image to be binary. If not, Skeletonize3D considers all pixel values above 0 to be white (255). While Skeletonize↑ relies on Black background value, the output of Skeletonize3D always has a value of 255 at the skeleton and 0 at background pixels, independently of the Black background option.

78 Binary images are thresholded to only two values, typically 0 and 1, but often — as with ImageJ — 0 and 255, that represent black and white on an 8-bit scale.

80 The interpretation of binary images is not universal. While some software packages will always perform binary operations on 255 values (or 1, or any non-zero value), ImageJ takes into account the foreground and background colors of the binary image.

82 In ImageJ, the **Black background** global preference setting defines not only how new binary images will be created, but also how previously created images are interpreted. This means objects will be inferred on a image-per-image basis. As such, inverting the LUT (i.e., pixels with a value of zero are white and pixels with a value 255 are black) of a binary image without updating the black background option may lead to unexpected results. This issue can currently be avoided by properly selecting the **Black background** option available on all Galaxy binary image tools.
