Investigate support for nd tifffiles with tifffile dependency

Open markbader opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Detailed Description

  • Affected library: e.g. webknossos
  • The current default PIMS reader for tiff image files, does not provide all information about additional axes in the PIMS specific iter_axes and bundle_axes format. It stores them in an _tiff variable. It would be useful to adapt that behavior by adding a PIMS reader class that handles these nd cases or making the default tiff reader skip images that are not handled properly to give them to the bioformats reader. This is useful to avoid using the use_bioformats flag for images with more than 3 dimensions.

Use Cases & Context

  • we added nd support to wklibs but reading tifffiles is currently only supported with use_bioformats set to True. It would be great to avoid that, to simplify the image upload worker.
