multiscale-spatial-image

Generate a multiscale, chunked, multi-dimensional spatial image data structure that can serialized to OME-NGFF.

Each scale is a scientific Python Xarray spatial-image Dataset, organized into nodes of an Xarray Datatree.

Installation

pip install multiscale_spatial_image

Usage

import numpy as np
from spatial_image import to_spatial_image
from multiscale_spatial_image import to_multiscale
import zarr

# Image pixels
array = np.random.randint(0, 256, size=(128,128), dtype=np.uint8)

image = to_spatial_image(array)
print(image)

An Xarray spatial-image DataArray. Spatial metadata can also be passed during construction.

Map a function over datasets while skipping nodes that do not contain dimensions

from spatial_image import to_spatial_image
from multiscale_spatial_image import skip_non_dimension_nodes, to_multiscale

data = np.zeros((2, 200, 200))
dims = ("c", "y", "x")
scale_factors = [2, 2]
image = to_spatial_image(array_like=data, dims=dims)
multiscale = to_multiscale(image, scale_factors=scale_factors)

    return ds.transpose(*args, **kwargs)

multiscale = multiscale.map_over_datasets(transpose, "y", "x", "c")
print(multiscale)

A transposed MultiscaleSpatialImage.

While the decorator allows you to define your own methods to map over datasets in the DataTree while ignoring those datasets not having dimensions, this library also provides a few convenience methods. For example, the transpose method we saw earlier can also be applied as follows:

multiscale = multiscale.msi.transpose("y", "x", "c")

Other methods implemented this way are reindex, equivalent to the xr.DataArray reindex method and assign_coords, equivalent to xr.Dataset assign_coords method.

Store as an Open Microscopy Environment-Next Generation File Format (OME-NGFF) / netCDF Zarr store.

Note: The API is under development, and it may change until 1.0.0 is released. We mean it :-).

Development

Contributions are welcome and appreciated.

Get the source code

git clone https://github.com/spatial-image/multiscale-spatial-image
cd multiscale-spatial-image

Install dependencies

First install pixi. Then, install project dependencies:

pixi install -a
pixi run pre-commit-install

Run the test suite

The unit tests:

pixi run -e test test

The notebooks tests:

pixi run test-notebooks

Update test data

To add new or update testing data, such as a new baseline for this block:

dataset_name = "cthead1"
image = input_images[dataset_name]
baseline_name = "2_4/XARRAY_COARSEN"
multiscale = to_multiscale(image, [2, 4], method=Methods.XARRAY_COARSEN)
verify_against_baseline(test_data_dir, dataset_name, baseline_name, multiscale)

Add a store_new_image call in your test block:

dataset_name = "cthead1"
image = input_images[dataset_name]
baseline_name = "2_4/XARRAY_COARSEN"
multiscale = to_multiscale(image, [2, 4], method=Methods.XARRAY_COARSEN)

store_new_image(dataset_name, baseline_name, multiscale)

verify_against_baseline(dataset_name, baseline_name, multiscale)

Run the tests to generate the output. Remove the store_new_image call.

Then, create a tarball of the current testing data

cd test/data
tar cvf ../data.tar *
gzip -9 ../data.tar
python3 -c 'import pooch; print(pooch.file_hash("../data.tar.gz"))'

Update the test_data_sha256 variable in the test/_data.py file. Upload the data to web3.storage. And update the test_data_ipfs_cid Content Identifier (CID) variable, which is available in the web3.storage web page interface.
