Abstract

Image processing has become a mainstream capability with commercial software that allow the general public to perfom, for example, photograph enhancement such as noise reduction or deblurring. Scientific imaging data sets often require quantitative image analysis that can only be performed with careful algorithm development. Recently, a number of software packages have been developed with different image processing capabilities. Most of them require some level of algorithm development to be able to perform data analysis. In 2011, the CG-1D neutron imaging beamlinejoined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Neutron Sciences general user program and efforts focused on data processing and analysis software development. The iMage Analysis Research Software (iMARS) was developed to respond to the CG-1D user demand and provide semi-automated data normalization, processing and analysis tools in the MATLAB® framework. New algorithms are often implemented to the iMARS framework per user request.A brief description of the neutron imaging beamlinescientific community will be presented and will be followed by a detailed overview of the iMARS software.
