This ImageJ plugin visualizes the composition of 2D shapes by superposition of nested ellipses, corresponding to complex coefficient pairs of elliptic Fourier descriptors.

The plugin assumes that the input image is binary (of type ByteProcessor). It is segmented and the outer contour of the largest connected component is used to calculate a Fourier descriptor (of type FourierDescriptorUniform) with a user-defined number of coefficient pairs. The plugin then displays a sequence of frames illustrating the reconstruction of the shape by superposition of nested ellipses as the path parameter (t) runs from 0 to 1. See Sec. 26.3.6 (esp. Fig. 26.12) of [1] for details.
