Features

JACoP allows:

Calculating a set of commonly used co-localization indicators:

Pearson's coefficient
Overlap coefficient
k1 & k2 coefficients
Manders' coefficient

Generating commonly used visualizations:

Cytofluorogram

Having access to more recently published methods:

Costes' automatic threshold
Li's ICA
Costes' randomization
Objects based methods (2 methods: distances between centres and centre-particle coincidence)

All methods are implemented to work on 3D datasets.

Description

JACoP has been totaly re-written, based on user feedback. The interface has been re-designed to oﬀer full access to all the options, based on a unique Swing frame.

JACoP v2.0: The new interface

It includes a “Zoom/Reset button” which allows the user to set the two selected images side-by-side, automatically adapting the zoom. For each method selected, the user’s attention is drawn on options to set, by highlighting the appropriate tab by turning its caption to red.

A copy of your paper being sent to both of our e-mail adresses would also be greatly appreciated !

JACoP v2.0 was released for the second ImageJ User and Developer Conference in November 2009. The conference proceedings related the plugin is available [1].
