Article published in Bioinformatics with shared ImageJ plugin

Our work on automatic template detection for microscopy images “Steer’n’Detect: Fast 2D Template Detection with Accurate Orientation Estimation“, by V. Uhlmann, Z. Püspöki, A. Depeursinge, M. Unser, D. Sage and J. Fageot., has been accepted for publication in the Bioiformatics jounal.

In this work, we introduce Steer’n’Detect, an ImageJ plugin to detect patterns of interest at any orientation with high accuracy from a single template in 2D images.
