eozin 0.1.0-alpha.2

A pure-Rust decoder library for digital pathology
Documentation
//! # Eozin: <small>The *dye-namic solution* for digital pathology</small>
//!
//! Eozin is a pure-Rust decoder library for digital pathology.
//! The library's primary purpose is to provide efficient access to individual tiles within 
//! digital pathology images.
//! It provides a native Rust API and bindings targeting Python, Web-based JavaScript, and Node.js.
//! The name is derived from eosin, an essential dye solution used in pathological diagnosis.
//!
//!
//! ## Quickstart
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to select the lowest resolution level from a digital 
//! pathology image in a native Rust environment, retrieve the central tile within that level, 
//! and save it as a JPEG file.
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std-io")]
//! # {
//! use eozin::std_io::DynamicDecoder;
//!
//! let file = std::fs::File::open("/some/slide.svs").unwrap();
//! let reader = std::io::BufReader::new(file);
//! let mut decoder = DynamicDecoder::new(reader).unwrap();
//!
//! let (width, height) = decoder.dimensions();
//!
//! // Get the index of the lowest resolution level
//! let lowest_resolution_level = decoder.level_count() - 1;
//!
//! // level_tile_ranges returns Vec<(horizontal_tiles, vertical_tiles)>
//! let lowres_tile_ranges = decoder.level_tile_ranges()[lowest_resolution_level];
//!
//! // Retrieve the tile at the center of the level
//! let lowres_centered_tile = decoder.read_tile(
//!   lowest_resolution_level, 
//!   lowres_tile_ranges.0 / 2, 
//!   lowres_tile_ranges.1 / 2, 
//! ).unwrap();
//!
//! assert!(lowres_centered_tile.is_jpeg());
//! std::fs::write("tile.jpg", &lowres_centered_tile).unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Core Concept
//!
//! Digital pathology images are captured using high-magnification microscopes, 
//! resulting in massive images that can reach hundreds of thousands of pixels in dimension.
//! Because storing such large images in standard formats is impractical, 
//! they are designed as containers comprising small rectangular images called **tiles**.
//! 
//! Furthermore, since downscaling these images on the fly is computationally expensive, 
//! they typically store multiple lower-resolution versions, referred to as **levels**. 
//! Vendors have developed various proprietary formats, and libraries like OpenSlide 
//! and bioformats have been instrumental in handling them.
//!
//! The motivation for Eozin is to provide lightweight and fast access to these tiles. 
//! Specifically, each tile is stored as a fragmented byte sequence; Eozin calculates 
//! the byte offset based on the requested level and coordinates, then appends 
//! the necessary headers so the buffer can be interpreted as a standard image format.
//!
//! Pixel-level processing (such as intensity manipulation) is intentionally left 
//! to established libraries—such as the `image` crate in Rust, `Pillow` in Python, 
//! or `Blob` objects in JS/Web environments.
//!
//! Since the I/O and decoding logic are completely decoupled, Eozin can be adapted to 
//! various environments. Client-side rendering in the browser achieves performant 
//! response times, and its efficiency is also ideal for high-throughput AI 
//! interpretation and analysis.
//! 
//!
//! ## Notes
//! Vendor and file format names mentioned in this library are the property of their respective owners.
//! This library is not certified for clinical use.
