[ImageJ-devel] How do I Perform an Image Convolution?

Hi Michael,

Indeed. If you end up updating it, a pull request to that effect would be
most welcome!

The most future-proof, in that OPS is the direction we are going. However,
at this point in time it won't be the smoothest ride, since the OPS library
is still in incubation.

Furthermore, the main OPS convolve routine leans on the ImgLib2
FFTConvolution implementation, so if all you need is the low-level
function, then OPS is probably not necessary for you.

This was a bug in the Maven build configuration, addressed earlier this
week. Should work with the latest master.

OPS does not depend on ImageJ1. (The only ImageJ2 component that does is
called imagej-legacy, and is expressly for the purpose of backwards
compatibility.)

Easiest would be to start with the "using-ops" tutorial project, and edit
the code from there.

https://github.com/imagej/imagej-tutorials/tree/31a5771277682e5f1ef45112094d147539dc4bc7/using-ops

FTR, you can invoke the routine with something like:

    Object result = ops.convolve(image, templateInverse);

However, in attempting a quick test of the convolve routine, I ran into
some obstacles with the current code. My advice at the moment is to just
use FFTConvolution directly for your needs.

> For the record, I am suspicious about Java annotations!

I agree with your concerns: they do unfortunately obfuscate the execution
flow. However, they also bring many advantages. In particular, the way we
are using them provides: 1) a dependency injection mechanism without the
need for any external configuration files; and 2) a very succinct syntax
for parameterized commands. We are shooting for DRY ("Don't Repeat
Yourself") code here [1], not just in the core, but particularly for plugin
developers [2].

I think the best way to counter the mystery surrounding the inner workings
is to thoroughly document how things work.

Curtis
