Enabling Cloud and Grid PoweredImage Phenotyping Martha Narro iPlant Collaborative narro@iplantcollaborative.arizona.edu Adapted from slides by Nirav Merchant
Motivation • High throughput imaging is essential for large-scale phenotyping. • Affordable robotics for image acquisition creating vast amounts of imaging data. • Many laboratories have automated imaging setups, but lack a comparable analysis platform. • Super resolution microscopy and multi-channel images are pushing the boundaries of storage and computational capabilities.
Motivation II • New, improved analysis algorithms are being published. • Biologists struggle to use them. • Developers need images to test algorithms. • Scientists need to compare algorithms, reproduce results. • Metadata is key for managing large datasets. • Sharing and collaborating with large image data sets is challenging. • ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH DOES NOT WORK
Why Bisque? • Biologists can • Manage images • Choose from multiple analysis options • Overlay results to validate findings • Annotate images • Share images, results, annotations via secure link • Algorithm developers can • Publish new analysis methods, easily make them web accessible • Produce interactive plots, visualizations using built in API • Integrated with iPlant storage and computation infrastructure for scalability
How does it work? iPlant Computational Infrastructure Bisque High Bandwidth Transfer High Bandwidth Transfer iPlant Data Store
Bisque Features • Web application • Tiling, zooming, step through image stacks, play as movie • Display 20K x 20K pixel images in web browser • Handles 100+ image, video formats • Import large image sets (≤ 40 GB Bisque), extremely large ones (> 40 GB iPlant Data Store) • Scale analyses using distributed computing (connected to XSEDE) and workflow engines (Pegasus, Condor)
