The software FishInspector provides automatic feature detections in images of
zebrafish embryos (body size, eye size, pigmentation). It is Matlab-based and
provided as a Windows executable (no matlab installation needed).

The FishInspector software allows the user-friendly and easy annotation of
features in zebrafish embryo 2-dimensional images. Features are detected
automatically but may require correction by the user (implemented in the
software). At present only lateral images can be analysed, but the software
could be extended to analyse dorsoventral images as well. The software has been
initially developed for images obtained with an automated capillary
position system. However, images from other sources can be used as well after
appropriate conversion (see below). During the installation process an
appropriate version of MATLAB runtime will be installed as well. No full
MATLAB installation is required. FishInspector has been tested on Windows 7 but
may run on other Windows versions as well.
More details on the software and the subsequent data analysis can be found in
the following publication:

## Plugins, future versions
The software is intended to be modified and extended by the community. If you
are interested or have a special interest please do not hesitate to contact
