[ome-devel] An attempt to define the problem more clearly(Localization Microscopy)

[Munro, Ian]

Hi Seamus

Not at all I’m happy to get any feedback  I’m very much feeling my way  here.
In the light of your comments and after discussion with the OME team we have moved on to Plan B. (or possibly E) which is to add to ThunderSTORM
the capability to load  localisations from the data that Simon Li has generated.

Best Wishes

Ian

Hi Ian

I should stress that although these comments are a bit negative I mean them only in a constructive fashion, and I am completely happy to be contradicted!

There are already a couple of rendering tools available - mainly PALMsiever (which I helped develop, open source), ThunderSTORM (open-source) and VisP (closed source). Being academic software, all of them are a bit buggy, and slowly updated, but essentially, the rendering bit is a (largely) solved problem, software wise. And regards the bugs/ missing features - I would suggest rather than develop new software, just ask for commit rights on PALMsiever or ThunderSTORM - they are both on GitHub!

The common localization format is on the other hand still an unsolved problem.The nicest point to my mind about focussing just on this aspect is that it's a small(-ish), well defined problem, which it would be quite useful to solve.

Hello All

Does anyone have any comments on Kwasi’s document?.
Based on his thoughts  I’ve started looking at developing an open-source OMERO-capable
reconstruction/rendering tool, although not full-time I fear, so progress is slow.

If anyone has any thoughts it would be good to hear them at this early stage.

Thanks
