Abstract [en]
The amount of image data in a slide scanner image is usually in the giga-pixel range, inducing challenges for image analysis and visualization. At the same time, in order to maximize the information gained in these experi-ments and integrate expert knowledge with quantitative measurements, it is crucial to maintain the connection be-tween high-resolution per-cell and per-region metrics with lower resolution relational metrics. We present a free and open-source framework for full resolution image analysis of large images, e.g. slide scanner data, with the possibility of visual examination and interaction at multiple resolutions. The interface enables seamless zooming and panning, with the option to toggle multiple layers, such as segmentation masks and classification results, on or off. We make use of the strength and flexibility of existing state-of-the-art open-source software for visualization, creating resolution pyra-mids, image registration and image analysis.
