Welcome to SciJava

SciJava aims to provide an overview of available Java libraries for scientific computing. The packages listed are provided by individual projects each of which is committed to co-operating with the other projects, reusing libraries and integrating clients for a seamless workflow.

The focus at the moment is geared towards biosciences, having begun during the 2011 Fiji Hackathon in Dresden, but other projects are welcome to get involved.

Features:

  • Image processing
  • Image visualization and annotation
  • Workflow execution and machine learning

SciJava Overview

Libraries

SciJava software libraries are intended for reuse by other projects.
