Source: Shading_Corrector.java

Installation: Copy Shading_Corrector.class to the plugins folder and restart ImageJ.

Description: This plugin corrects acquired images for shading due to uneven illumination or CCD pixel irregularities. It does this using the formula
I = I(M/BF)
where I is the active image, BF is the blank field image, and M is the mean of the blank field image. For this to work, you must first capture a blank background image and use Image/Rename (v1.24 or newer) or Image/Duplicate to rename it "blank-field". You can create a command that renames the active image "blank-field" by using Plugins/Hot Keys/Install Plugin to install this plugin with the argument "rename".
