A simple ImageJ2/SciJava wrapper for reading and writing TIFF (and similar) files through IJ1
This repository is a minimal wrapper around the ImageJ1 TIFF IO functions (namely IJ.openImage and FileSaver#saveAsTiff)
to make them available as headless-compatible SciJava commands.
This component mainly exists because of two long-standing issues:
- Poor handling of Metamorph nd/stk datasets by bio-formats
- Poor TIFF reading/writing performance of SCIFIO
So in order to make KNIME workflows using one or both of the above have an (at least) acceptable performance 😢, we need to fall back to ImageJ1 IO.
