Description

This program was inspired by the ImageJ plugin binner.java

In general, this plugin reduces large stacks. The reduction is applied in x, y AND z at the same time. Several ways, to reduce the stack size are available. At present, the most interesting might be the option “average”. Here according to the reduction factor the new voxel will be the mean of the reduced voxels. Besides the data reduction the image is filtered and has a nicer optical appearance (less noise).

Negative effects of “average” were not evaluated so far. It could be that “median” is the better choise.
