Passing min/max values to OMERO for rendering

All,

Following up on a conversation I had with Melissa at the OME users meeting, I'm posting the following idea and Melissa's initial comments on it:

DS:

ML:
There is currently a way around that; Bio-Formats can pass minimum and
maximum pixel values through to OMERO,
even though this isn't formally defined in the data model. I'd expect
we can resolve this without a new version of the data model (unless
something more exotic than min/max values needs to be captured).


I expect that such functionality could 1) significantly reduce the import time for large datasets of images when the minmax calculation is not skipped and 2) provide more useful initial rendering settings for those image types (e.g. whole slide images) where the importer automatically skips the minmax calculation.

Dear Damir

Thanks for suggesting this improvement
I have created a card. https://trello.com/c/ujN2K3mb/96-statsinfo-min-max
This will certainly improve the accuracy of the rendering settings if the --no-stats flag is set at import.

Please feel free to add comment to it

Cheers
