Hi Curtis
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thans for the feedback. It's much appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Actually I oversimplified as our code is a Matlab GUI wrapping cross-platform c++ fitting code so bringing this together with slim may be relatively easy as the 2 GUIs seem to have a lot of common features.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the shorter term I think we need to use the same strategy to store data in OMERO.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Clearly you have a better feel for the downsides of the ModuloAlong? solution than we do so can I ask how you intend to store your data in OMERO?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>

<div>
<div>Thanks for this update; very informative. It looks like you have done a lot to bring FLIM processing into OMERO, which is great.<br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to draw your attention to some very similar work we are doing within ImageJ:</div>
<div> <a href="http://loci.wisc.edu/software/slim-plugin" target="_blank">http://loci.wisc.edu/software/slim-plugin</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The SLIM Plugin is an ImageJ plugin (written in Java, of course), which uses the SLIM-curve library (written in cross-platform C) to perform the curve fitting (of TCSPC data).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>> The Imperial/Photonics Group’s main FLIM analysis software is</div>
<div>> internally named “GlobalProcessing”. It is written in MATLAB and</div>
<div>> provides state of the art fitting of time domain data for both</div>
<div>> laser-scanning time-correlated single photon (TCSPC) and wide-field</div>
<div>> time-gated FLIM images.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps GlobalProcessing and SLIM-curve could join forces? It is much easier to access C code from Java than MATLAB code, but there are clearly features in GlobalProcessing missing from SLIM-curve (e.g., wide-field), and vice versa.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>> 1) We intend to standardise on encoding FLIM data using ModuloAlongT.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I dislike ModuloAlongT, especially as a long-term solution. There are certain dimension orders that are simply impossible using it (e.g., XYbCZT, where "b" is lifetime bins, and T is actual time points). I would much favor us developing a true
N-dimensional OME data model, and using that, moving forward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>> 2) Where should the functionality currently in IC-importer fit into</div>
<div>> the OMERO eco-system?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I agree that this functionality would work well as a Bio-Formats reader.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Curtis</div>

<div>Hello all<br>
<br>
Please find attached a document describing where the work of the Imperial satellite currently stands.<br>
We've reached a point where our group is making decisions, regarding the handling of data with a 6th dimension,
<br>
that may well have future implications for the OMERO clients or for other groups working with 5+ dimensions.<br>
<br>
As a result we're looking for any feedback/improvements that anyone can offer on our current approach<br>
In particular the 3 areas highlighted on the second page of the document.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your time.<br>
