Skip pre-processing for nucleic regions #41

Closed karlcz closed 7 years ago

karlcz commented 7 years ago

In practice, users are classifying nuclei using the 3D viewer which uses the raw SPIM image as input, not the pre-processed NPZ needed for the 2D viewer.

To save disk space and reduce processing delays, we should skip production of NPZ for nucleic regions. These are slower and larger because the region of interest is usually substantially larger (nearly full-frame) compared to the synaptic regions.

@mikedarcy can you confirm that the launcher does not depend on the NPZ file URL column when configured to use the 3D viewer?

mikedarcy commented 7 years ago

Confirmed. 3D mode only depends on the "URL" field and ignores "NPZ URL".
