This work is based mainly on openslide-rust library and openslide-python library
Rust bindings to OpenSlide (https://openslide.org/).
This work has no affiliations with the official OpenSlide project.
openslide-rs is a rust interface to the OpenSlide library.
[OpenSlide] is a C library that provides a simple interface for reading whole-slide images, also known as virtual slides, which are high-resolution images used in digital pathology. These images can occupy tens of gigabytes when uncompressed, and so cannot be easily read using standard tools or libraries, which are designed for images that can be comfortably uncompressed into RAM. Whole-slide images are typically multi-resolution; OpenSlide allows reading a small amount of image data at the resolution closest to a desired zoom level.
OpenSlide can read virtual slides in several formats:
.svs, .tif).ndpi, .vms, .vmu).scn).mrxs).tiff).svslide).tif).bif, .tif).tif)openslide-rs requires [OpenSlide]. For instructions on installing both components so OpenSlide Rust can find OpenSlide, see the package documentation.
In some systems it's necessary to run this command to allow Rust compiler to found OpenSlide :
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenslide.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenslide.so
