Image Correlator

Authors: Wayne Rasband (wsr at nih.gov) and Kevin (Gali) Baler
Limitations:Only works with 8-bit images or stacks.
Source: Image_Correlator.java
Installation: Copy Image_Correlator.class to the plugins folder and restart ImageJ.
Description: Generates an XY plot and correlation coefficient that indicate how well correlated two images or stacks are. Uses the value of a given pixel in the first image as the x-coordinate and the value of the corresponding pixel in the second image as the y-coordinate. These are plotted into a new window or stack to give a scatter plot. The plugin uses Process/Equalize to enhance the contrast of the scatter plot.

Check "Display Counts" in the dialog and the non-zero scatter plot counts will be displayed in a window.
