Cannot open OME-Zarr created with bioformats2raw

dpshepherd opened this issue · 17 comments

Hi all,

We have a OME-Zarr (190 GB) created with a freshly installed bioformats2raw, installed into a new conda environment (python=3.8) using the ome channel on conda-forge on a Window 10 machine. The top-level file structure looks as follows:

lung.zarr
├── 0
├── OME
├── .zattrs
└── .zgroup

The call to bioformats2raw was:
bioformats2raw image.pattern d:/lung_2x/lung.zarr where image.pattern contains fused_ch<00-16>.tif. Each .tif file is ~14 GB, is a 3D stack created by the BigStitcher plugin in FIJI, and contains one channel.

Using a brand new conda environment (python=3.9) with the latest Napari and napari-ome-zarr, installed using pip install napari[all] napari-ome-zarr, we try to open the file using 'napari d:/lung_2x/lung.zarr and get the following error: ValueError: No plugin found capable of reading 'D:\\lung_2x\\lung.zarr'.

If we instead call Napari using to napari d:/lung.zarr/0 it does open the data, with the channels appearing on one of the sliders.

Any suggestions on how to get Napari to properly open this as a OME-Zarr?

Thanks.

@dpshepherd thanks for raising this important issue. Overall, I think the behavior you are seeing is expecting.

For non-HCS filesets, the output of bioformat2raw is a Zarr fileset which maps the representation of Bio-Formats series concepts with a top-level group containing N Zarr groups called 0...n (just 0 for a single image) mapping to the individual series (images) of the dataset plus an OME group containing the metadata. The reason for this layout is primarily compatibility with downstream tools such as raw2ometiff which can then reconstruct multi-image filesets together with their original metadata as OME-TIFF.

From the OME-NGFF perspective, each of the 0...n groups is effectively an NGFF image as defined by https://ngff.openmicroscopy.org/0.2/#image-layout and including notably the multiscales metadata. So napari d:/lung.zarr/0 is definitely the call that should open the first image of the output of bioformats2raw. For comparison, the omero zarr --bf command which exports a single OMERO image using bioformats2raw under the hood includes a step which simply renames this 0 folder as <image_id>.zarr to clarify the expectation - https://github.com/ome/omero-cli-zarr/blob/fb318edb2ae4bfe62f97683501e41418ed82dfd4/src/omero_zarr/cli.py#L326-L327

In the mid-term, we are definitely hoping to formalize the layout of bioformat2raw. This might build on top of the ongoing work on the collections specification which is currently being discussed in ome/ngff#31.

I'll leave @chris-allan and @melissalinkert to add anything I missed.

@sbesson thanks for the clarification. Given that we have 17 (typo, not 16) independent channels for the same 3D voxels, is there a "better" way to use bioformats2raw? Or is the process we have used the preferred method?

We can also do this conversion in Python, but wanted to try out bioformats2raw before going that route.

What that napari user interface behaviour signals to me is that Bio-Formats is not detecting your channels correctly to begin with and consequently you have bad input going into bioformats2raw. A .pattern file containing fused_ch<00-16>.tif indicates 17 channels, not 16, and the FilePatternReader will not allow missing files. The fact that bioformats2raw is not blowing up spectacularly before conversion starts is telling.

You first need to ensure that the .pattern file you are using to signal a multi-file aggregation is representing your desired input dimensions which you can do with the Bio-Formats tools (showinf in particular) like so:

showinf -nopix image.pattern

I have mocked your use case up using .fake files:

Converting this with bioformats2raw image.pattern lung2.zarr and opening it up with napari lung2.zarr/0 gives me a napari that looks like this (after some manual tweaking of the channel scaling and turning several channels off):

image

As @sbesson has already mentioned, yes, napari lung2.zarr/0 is the correct way to open the converted image.

I will test your suggestions later, but 16 channels was a typo, sorry about that. We do have 17, <00-16> is correct.

Thanks.

Here is the output of showinf -nopix image.pattern. This shows you are correct and the different files are being interpreted as the time axis, not channel axis. We don't have control over the .tif file creation, since they are being built by the BigStitcher tool. BigStitcher aligns and fuses a large number of independent tiles acquired with a custom light sheet fluorescence microscope.

Is there a way to force the assignment to the channel axis? If we have to fix individual TIFF files, we will probably just start writing this with Python, since we are quite comfortable in Python and can use one of the existing ome-ngff packages.

If we change the filename from fused_ch<00-16>.tif to fused_c<00-16>.tif, the showinf command now recognizes each file as a unique channel. We'll try converting to OME-Zarr that way and opening in Napari.

The pattern file page states that "ch" should be recognized as a channel axis, which is why we did not alter it on the first try.

Thanks @dpshepherd, I was also under the assumption that ch should have been a sufficient channel prefix. We would probably need sample files to investigate the source of this issue at the Bio-Formats level. In the meantime, glad to hear switching to _c is sufficient for your needs.

The napari-ome-zarr plugin also reads this OME-Zarr with the channels on a slider, instead of in the layers as @chris-allan showed above.

We will create smaller examples files that still have this issue and host them for download. Might take a few days.

I certainly used ch in my mock test case with .fake files. There's definitely some other interplay here with the multi-dimensional TIFFs. If I have some time over the next couple of days I'll try to expand the .fake case with dimensions and see where I get to.

@dpshepherd while you are generating example files, could you give us the output of showinf.bat -nopix D:\lung_2x_fused\fused_ch00.tif? This might provide some clues on why the stitching and the dimension concatenation fails to group the TIFFs as channels

Note that we renamed fused_ch00.tif to fused_c00.tif.

Reading metadata

Here the detection and the combination of all the constituent files as a multi-channel image work as expected. As Chris said, one variation between our environments is the underlying file format and there might be some unexpected interaction with these TIFF files. Another difference is the operating system under which the command-line utilities are executed.

@sbesson - yes, I am also wondering about environment, OS, and these specific TIFF files. Our server is still tied up, but making smaller files for this test is the next job up. I also am curious if we should build the latest bioformats2raw from GitHub instead of using the ome conda channel? We can also try the conversion on our server (Linux Mint 19) instead.

Did you make a OME-Zarr out of these newest test files? Even when showinf recognized the image pattern as channels instead of time, the napari-ome-zarr plugin still assigned the other dimension to a slider instead of layers.

@dpshepherd: sorry for the delay. I have been working on this in the background. I generated a Zarr dataset from the fake-based pattern fileset described above using bioformat2raw installed in a Conda environment (see below) and a simple bioformats2raw image.pattern fused.zarr conversion command.

The output of the data generation has been uploaded to a temporary public bucket. Locally running

$ napari https://uk1s3.embassy.ebi.ac.uk/napari-ome-zarr_21/fused.zarr/0/

gives me the expected output with channels appearing as layers rather than sliders

Screenshot 2021-12-07 at 10 01 25

I have napari 0.4.12 with napari-ome-zarr==0.3.1 and ome-zarr==0.2.1 on a local Python 3.9.7 Conda environment.

Trying to identify the divergence between our environments, what is the behavior when you are pointing napari at this dataset?

I have napari==0.4.12, napari-ome-zarr==0.3.1, ome-zarr==0.2.1 on local Python 3.9.7 conda environment on a Windows 10 64-bit machine.

When I load the data from the bucket using,
napari https://uk1s3.embassy.ebi.ac.uk/napari-ome-zarr_21/fused.zarr/0/
I get the following two messages on the console,

11:36:37 WARNING version mismatch: detected:FormatV02, requested:FormatV03
11:36:43 WARNING version mismatch: detected:FormatV03, requested:FormatV02

and then the data loads as expected and I get a viewer that looks exactly like yours.

This suggests to me that it is either the TIFF files that BigStitcher created or bioformats2raw. Our server is finally freed up, so we can generate smaller files in the next day or two.

Hi @dpshepherd did you make any progress here? Is this issue still open?
If so, I wonder if I could rename it, since the discussion is really about channel support within napari d:/lung.zarr/0 and I've created a new issue for adding support for bioformats2raw to allow napari d:/lung.zarr/ at #71.
Cheers

Hi @will-moore -

We've moved away from OME-NGFF, so this can be closed as far as I'm concerned. We wont' be working on it anymore.
