Tool for converting WSIs from Olympus' cellSens VSI to Generic TIFF.

To quickly get started, see these notebooks ([Ubuntu Linux](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif/blob/main/notebooks/conversion_tutorial_ubuntu_linux.ipynb), [macOS](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif/blob/main/notebooks/conversion_tutorial_macos.ipynb)) for installing the tool, converting your first image, and verifying that the image works with OpenSlide.

## [Requirements](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#requirements)

To run the tool, you need to configure bftools and vips. To do that, follow the instructions below for the operating system of interest:

<details open>
<summary>

### [Ubuntu](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#ubuntu)</summary>

1. Download bftools (click [here](http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats5.6/artifacts/bftools.zip))

2. Install vips and JDK
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo apt install libvips-tools
```

</details>

### [macOS](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#macos)</summary>

1. Download bftools (click [here](http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats5.6/artifacts/bftools.zip))

2. Install vips and JDK
```
brew install --cask zulu@8
brew install vips
```

</details>

### [Windows](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#windows)</summary>

To install bftools and vips, I recommend using Powershell as much as possible to automate the installation steps.

1. Download bftools (click [here](http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats5.6/artifacts/bftools.zip))

2. Download vips binary from Windows from [here](https://github.com/libvips/build-win64-mxe/releases) or use wget or similar
```
https://github.com/libvips/build-win64-mxe/releases/download/v8.15.3/vips-dev-w64-all-8.15.3.zip
```

3. Uncompress downloaded file and place it at an appropriate place, like at home
```
unzip ~/Downloads/vips-dev-w64-all-8.15.3.zip
mv ~/Downloads/vips-dev-w64-all-8.15.3/vips-dev-8.15/ ~/vips-dev-8.15/
```

4. Add path to `vips.exe` to the PATH (requires powershell administrator)
```
$Env:PATH += ";$HOME/vips-dev-8.15/bin/"
```

## [Installation](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#installation)

Install from PyPI:
```
pip install vsi2tif
```

Alternatively, install from source:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif
```

## [Usage](https://github.com/andreped/vsi2tif#usage)

The conversion tool is available through a command line interface (CLI).

Example for converting a single WSI:
```
vsi2tif -i /path/to/olympus/image.vsi -o /path/to/converted/image.tif -b /path/to/bftools/bfconvert
```

Here is an example to perform batch conversion of a folder of WSIs:
```
vsi2tif -i /path/to/olympus/wsis/ -o /path/to/converted/wsis/directory/ -b /path/to/bftools/bfconvert
```

Comprehensive CLI documentation can be seen below:

```
usage: vsi2tif [-h] -i INPUT -o OUTPUT -b BFCONVERT [-c COMPRESSION] [-s TILESIZE] [-q QUALITY] [-m MAX_MEM] [-v VERBOSE] [--remove-name-spaces] [-p PLANE]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        folder with input files
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        folder for output files
