ImageArray

ImageArray provides a framework for on-disk and in-memory image arrays, specifically for pyramidal images stored in HDF5, Zarr and life sciences image file formats (OME Bio-Formats).

Key Features:

• On-disk image arrays: Supports storage and access of image data on disk for large datasets that exceed memory capacity.
• In-memory image arrays: Enables direct memory-based access to image data for efficient computation.
• Pyramidal image support: Handles multi-resolution pyramidal image structures commonly used in microscopy.
• Multiple storage formats: Interfaces with HDF5, Zarr, and OME Bio-Formats life sciences image file formats.

Scientific Applications:

• Life sciences microscopy: Facilitates storage and access of large-scale microscopy images in standard bioimaging formats.

Methodology:

The framework implements data structures for pyramidal image arrays with backends for HDF5, Zarr, and OME Bio-Formats.
