Solutions
Helmholtz Imaging Solutions include generalized solutions to tackle common imaging problems along the full pipeline, including algorithms, software packages, datasets, protocols, and specific executable apps.
Software tools for imaging used or developed by the Helmholtz Imaging community are listed here – we encourage imaging experts in Helmholtz to make sure their tools can be discovered by registering to the Modalities site and adding them as solutions.
In order to make it easier to replicate how scientific software is used across the whole imaging pipeline, executable Helmholtz Imaging Solutions are able to run a specific digital routine, even if it spreads across tools, languages, and diverse installation and usage strategies. This is based on a framework called Album, developed by the Helmholtz Imaging Solutions team. Each solution is a single Python file defining entry points for installing and running a solution, the virtual environment of the solution and metadata, like documentation and references.
Executable Helmholtz Imaging Solutions can be preserved using existing containerization strategies and shared via catalogs. In collaborations, specific strategies for analyzing data are wrapped as executable Helmholtz Imaging Solutions and will soon be listed on the Helmholtz Imaging Modalities website to make them accessible to the whole community.
