Draft for recommended metadata for images to provide a standard interface for aliby. I attempt to follow OMERO metadata structures.
* Essential data
- DimensionOrder: str
Order of dimensions (e.g., CTZYX for Channel, Time, Z,Y,X)
- PixelSize: float
Size of pixel, useful for segmentation.
- Channels: List[str]
Channel names, used to refer to as parameters.
* Optional but useful data
- ntps: int
Number of time-points
- Date
Date of experiment
- interval: float
Time interval when the experiment has a constant acquisition time. If it changes depending on the position or it is a dynamic experiment, this is the maximum number that can divide all different conditions.
- Channel conditions: DataFrame
Dataframe with acquisition features for each image as a function of a minimal time interval unit.
- Group config: DataFrame
If multiple groups are used, it indicates the time-points at which the corresponding channel was acquired.
- LED: List[str]
Led names. Useful when images are acquired with the same LED and filter but multiple voltage conditions.
- Filter: List[str]
Filter names. Useful when images are acquired with the same LED and filter but multiple voltage conditions.
- tags : List[str]
Tags associated with the experiment. Useful for semi-automated experiment exploration.
* Optional
- hardware information : Dict[str, str]
Name of all hardware used to acquire images.
- Acquisition software and version: Tuple[str,str]
