Supports Java 1.6 and Windows Vista
Read all previous JMicroVision project files
More texture descriptors
Supervised classification (k-nearest neighbor)
Improvement of UI (Table, Text field and spinner have similar behaviors)
Aqua and GTK+ Look and Feel are supported (still some minor issues)
Online help has been actualized
Other minor bugs fixed

What's new in the release 1.2.2

Fixed issues: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 , 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39
Spatial Calibration: Custom calibration, shift the image origin, change the Y axis direction
Profile tool optimization
Create a slide show
Slide show and Multiview configuration saved in the project file
Modify object shape: Smooth, polygonal approximation and convex hull
1D Measurement: Polyline and freehand line, more parameters, show profile and statistics
2D Measurement: More statistics on histogram
Color Parameter for Note, 1D et 2D Measurement
Channel operations : IHS transform
Improvement of morphological operations
Custom persistent filters for Classical filtering and Morphology
Custom filters and templates are recovered from the last installed version.
Background: get real surface
Plugins: Create your own image processing functions
Error messages of JMicroVision sent to the file “erroLog.txt”
Native launcher for Windows, Linux and Solaris (resolves the JRE path and the JRE parameters)
File association (*.jmv) on Windows
Online help has been actualized

What's new in the release 1.2.0

Fixed issues: 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28
Improvement of the image visualization system
Time consuming processes in separate threads (stop a process by clicking on its progress bar)
Multiview (1-8 images) of any image of the project (customed or synchronized zoom)
Object separation module (based on a new algorithm) (experimental tool)
Profile in all directions (+ color mode)
Image rectification by control points (stack images representing the same scene but have a different size, orientation or deformation)
More shortcuts: arrow keystrokes for moving the image or the selected drawings, mouse wheel for zooming, space bar for moving the image with the hand
Export project in SVG (standard vectorial format)
Image Factory as new Tool, with a lot of new operations :
- Arithmetic operations (add, substract, multiply and divide)
- Logical operations (not, and, or and xor)
- Binary (hole fill, border kill, Euclidian distance map, reconstruction) (requires binary images)
- Morphology with customized structuring element (opening, closing, erosion, dilation, external gradient, internal gradient, white tophat, black tophat)
- Channel operation (extraction and merging)
- Convolution filtering (blur, sharpen, edge, gaussian ... and customized filters)
- Nonlinear filtering (median, min, max and Kuwahara)
- Gradient filtering (Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Freichen)
- Enhancement (manual enhancement, automatic and equalized levels, background subtraction)
- Pseudo color (15 palettes)
- Segmentation (simple binarization, color and gray intensity threshold, k-means clustering, watershed segmentation by markers)
- Rasterize drawings (convert vectorial objects to bitmap)
- Plugin (add your own image processing functions, documentation available soon)
- Icon before the image name to identify the image type (Color, gray or binary)
Create an image from data
New project from another project (import preferences, image operations...)
Magic wand to create objects (experimental tool)
Define working areas (ellipse and polygon) that can be used in most tools
More palettes for coloring objects from a parameter
Moves automatically the image when drawing hitting a border (option)
Antialiasing option for drawings
Round shape lens option
Fix drawing refreshing with small or high zoom factor
Calibration module improvement
Find automatically the images linked to the project when they are in the same directory (if files have been moved)

Note: Online help has not be actualized.

Note: Processes in separate threads allow you to have more than one operation at the same time. Processes announced with "Please wait.." in the status bar cannot be stopped (e.g. loading or saving image).

Note: Watershed segmentation, the object separation module and the magic wand need to handle the whole image in memory. If an "out of memory" exception is thrown, a message appears on the status bar (see help to increase memory).

Note: In Display options, for best performance, do not check the antialiasing button, set the drawing opacity to 100% and select the nearest neighbor interpolation. In addition, the "fill drawing" option in Object Extraction is uncheked by default (only the outlines are displayed), that improve the rendering performance.
