GSOC 2026 Project #35 : ImageJ Active Segmentation platform: Real-Time Filter Preview

The Active Segmentation platform for ImageJ (ASP/IJ) [2] was developed in the scope of GSOC 2016 – 2025. The plugin provides a general-purpose environment that allows biologists and other domain experts to transparently use state-of-the-art techniques in machine learning to achieve excellent image segmentation and classification. ImageJ [1] is a public-domain Java image processing program extensively used in life and material sciences. The program was designed with an open architecture and is extensible via plugins.

The project idea: Users can tweak filter parameters via sliders/spinners and immediately see the effect on the image.
