Steven Kang (sskang AT andrew.cmu.edu)Requires: ImageJ 1.38q or later & Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 or later History: 2008/02/07: First version
2008/02/10: Optimized for speed using gradient pyramids
2008/02/12: Performed further speed optimizations and bug fixes
2008/02/14: Added support for affine transformation
2008/03/15: Made user interface improvements
2008/05/02: Added support for macro recordering (thanks to Christophe Leterrier at univmed.fr)
2009/01/11: Added support for logging transformation coefficients
(can be reapplied to another stack using Image Stabilizer Log Applier)
2009/01/11: The stabilization process can be interrupted by pressing 'ESC' or by closing the image
2009/01/20: Fixed a runtime error when the user does not select the Log_Transformation_Coefficients checkbox
(thanks to Nico Stuurman at UCSF)
2009/06/12: Fixed a bug that affected 32-bit float input images (thanks to Derek Bailey)Source: Image_Stabilizer.java
Image_Stabilizer_Log_Applier.javaInstallation: Download Image_Stabilizer.class and Image_Stabilizer_Log_Applier.class to the plugins folder and restart ImageJ. Alternatively, download Image_Stabilizer.java and Image_Stabilizer_Log_Applier.java to the plugins folder or subfolder. Compile and run it using Plugins/Compile and Run. Restart ImageJ and there will be a new "Image Stabilizer" command and a new "Image Stabilizer Log Applier" command in the Plugins menu or its submenu.Description: This plugin stabilizes jittery image stacks using the Lucas-Kanade algorithm. It supports both grayscale and color images.

Here is how the plugin works:
- It uses the currently shown slice in an image stack as the initial reference, or "template";
- It estimates the geometrical transformation needed to best align each of the other slices with the "template". The estimation and alignment are performed using the Lucas-Kanade algorithm;
- Once a slice is aligned, the "template" will be updated on the fly using the formula: new_template = a * old_template + (1 - a) * newly_aligned_slice, where "a" is the "template update coefficient" that can be adjusted when the plugin is run.
Hint: To process very large image stacks, import the stack with the "Use Virtual Stack" option enabled. The plugin will prompt you for an output directory to store the stabilized image sequence.
