01.02.2012 Landscape metrics were developed to analyze spatial patterns of landscapes (e.g. composition and spatial arrangement). In R it is possible to calculate these metrics with the “SDMTools” package. Bio7 offers an easy to use interface to R and ImageJ and can use these tools to simplify a workflow to analyze image data (e.g. vegetation … Read more
In recent years many R packages have been developed to enable image analysis in R. As an alternative the combination of R with a powerful image analysis software like ImageJ offers many advanced image analysis interfaces and algorithms not yet available in R. Bio7 integrates both applications in a Rich Client Plattform based on Eclipse … Read more
05.06.2011 Today i started to create a list of books and articles about ecological modelling. In this list you will not only find general books about modelling but also books about spatial analysis, image analysis and other (in my opinion) important techniques useful in the context of ecological modelling. For the collection i use “Zotero” … Read more
Recently i released the first 64-bit versions of Bio7 bundled with a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine. I’m always curious how far i can go using both applications together to do image analysis (especially classification) with huge images coming e.g. from satellites. The transfer of the images in Bio7 is realized with a combination of ImageJ … Read more
Bio7 1.5 has been released and comes with new functionalities for R. For all who don’t know Bio7 here is a short description: Bio7 is a integrated development environment for ecological modelling based on the Rich-Client-Platform concept of the Java IDE Eclipse. The Bio7 platform contains several perspectives which arrange several views for a special … Read more
