Macros for using the Image File Filter Functions

  • This set of macros help to process a set of images spread amount many images and subfolders
    • all subfolders are searched for files
    • image files can be filtered for their extension
    • the list of image files can be filtered for certain text within the image file path
    • the can macro display the filter lists so that the user can trouble shoot the filters
  • Helpful for to open small subset of large image file list (e.g. from CellProfiler…)
  • Helpful for to open subset of images distributed among many subfolders (e.g. BD Pathway)

Imaging Requirements

  • Images (currently only .tif)
  • For 'ImageFileFilter' enter up to 3 filter texts to include or exclude these from image file list
  • For 'ImageFileFilterRegEx' you need to know how to generate a regular expression for filter file list

The Fiji Macros

  • These macros contain the Image File Filter Functions:
  1. ImageFileFilter Open List of Images
    1. This macro opens .tif from all subfolders after filtering file list for up to 3 user specified text
  2. ImageFileFilterRegEx Open List of Images
    1. This macro opens .tif from all subfolders after filtering file list using a user specified regular expression
  3. ImageFileFilter Manual Counter
    1. This macro opens .tif from using 3 ImageFileFilter and allows manual counting of objects image by image

What can be done with ImageFileFilter

  • quickly access and open specified images from larger set to image files
  • the macros record in a log window which images were opened and where results were store
    • this serves as a documentation of that the macro did
  • combine 'ImageFileFilter' or 'ImageFileFilterRegEx' with small marco command to extend functionality of this set of macros
  • copy/paste section "Functions" from macros and re-used that for your own macro to process automatically many images
