// imageToObject 0.1
// This macro creates a digital 3D object from an image sequence
// It asks for a directory path, then impots all images, converts them to 8-bit, substracts background, and runs the 3D viewer

// To run the macro: open ImageJ, from the top menu Plugin, select Macros then Run… choose the file from your local disk.

// For information on how to use imageJ, see
// http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/
