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] build dependencies.
You will find a Makefile to help you install all required dependencies for Ubuntu and MacOs. Bellow you will find command to run to be able to build this crate
brew install openslide --only-dependencies
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libwebp-dev libzstd-dev pkg-config clang
apt-get build-dep -y --no-install-recommends libopenslide0
