ASCB
-
mini-group meetings
- let Andrew know what everyone wants to discuss
- will try to setup a general schedule of booth staffing
-
our booth
- Not sure of the amount of traffic
- Possibilities limited
- Don't know about location of micromanager
-
equipment/hardware
- badge-scanner: categories "omero", "bioformats", ...
- ...
-
materials (ideas!)
- posters: need to decide on topic and find publisher (by end of month)
- t-shirts: everything should be ready soonish
- cellprofiler material possibly sitting on table
- Update Thurs. next week. (power, furniture, network, equip. ordered)
-
mini-group meetings
NDIM
-
5 solutions
- adding D won't be used if another NDim solution used
- re-using C is a proof-of-concept
- stitching images together at a higher level
- ndim & subdimensions: adding dimensions at the top or bottom
- need to define the cost of doing this to know when/if to do it
- NDim seems to be the only viable solution (stitching possibly then on top of that)
- Chris: have to decide how much we have to encode in file and how much in db (and how much do we want to write)
- Donald: looking at other technologies, too
- Curtis: SPW is metamodel to describe higher binary dimensions
- geospatial says only 4D (spatial-temporal). collections of 4D objects
- how many images 6DIMs and beyond?
- possibly just doing NDim in the backend and restrict to 5D for the interim period
- support for histograms? attaching to original blob
- what happens to channelcomponent and planeinfo which are 5D specific?
- curtis: repeating a histogram, so rasterizing in C is out.
-
curtis/chris: space wastes of describing nicely modelled objects
- get somethings out of the database
-
options
- keep 5D test HDF
- example schema for NDIM (where is metadata attached)
- testing bottom-to-top to better estimate size.
- making list (Curtis/Melissa) compile list of things that don't have a place
