Visualize tracked cells and their features

[ziw-liu]

Visualize TCZYX images and TYX tracking labels.

Loads TNZ features into the labels layer's attribute to be used with napari-clusters-plotter.

Apple silicon users must install higra from conda-forge before installing this plugin. Upstream issue: higra/Higra#249

@ziw-liu can you point me to paths of matching zarr stores so I can try this out?. Found them in code.

[mattersoflight]

@ziw-liu installing napari-clusters-plotter via mamba as per the README of project breaks the napari environment. pip install napari-clusters-plotter plays well with our other instructions on Wiki.

The loading crashed while trying the FOV B/4/0 and is quite slow with B/4/2 on the login-02 node. Slowest parts are loading the movie and, somewhat surprisingly, loading features.

What contributes to the slow loading of features? Can we lazy load time points, given the typical XYZ chunks?

[mattersoflight]

@ziw-liu I now see a peculiar behavior. The INFO logs say that the data is being loaded, but the canvas stays empty. Let's take a look at this in person.

[ziw-liu]

@mattersoflight a know issue is that napari-clusters-plotter does not work with the new napari 0.5.0: BiAPoL/napari-clusters-plotter#308 (comment). However 0.5.0 brings useful features for users of other widgets so I didn't pin the version. I'm also seeing flakiness on HPC with the also newly released PyQt 6.7.1, sometimes using PyQt5 seems better.

[ziw-liu]

@mattersoflight Now if you do:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

This will include [all] that installs napari, pyqt5, and napari-clusters-plotter.

@ziw-liu works well. I enjoyed watching cells move from one part of UMAP space to another. The viewer widget can use a few tweaks (after the current work on data formats and VisCy is completed):

• show tracks (via napari.view_tracks().
• rename the fields for clarity.

[Soorya19Pradeep]

@ziw-liu, I was able to use the plugin as well. I can see the whole track of the cell starting from timepoint 0. Is it possible to visualize the progression of tracking along time instead?

I think I can see the progression sliding over the z-slice slider though.

[ziw-liu]

@Soorya19Pradeep trajectory dimensionality has been fixed.

[mattersoflight]

@ziw-liu the updated field names read well.

Following improvements are needed:

• dependencies for the plugin need to be worked out and documented. I needed to install the following:

  • iohub from github (main branch)
  • ultrack
    Since this plugin is experimental, why not install iohub from github?
    Although napari-clusters-plotter requires numpy ~<1.26, it worked just fine with numpy 2.0.2 installed by ultrack.

• Improve the analysis workflow:

  • compute the 3-component UMAP and 6-component PCA across all FOVs in advance to enable comparison of cells across FOVs.
  • rename the widget to view embedding dynamics.
  • our widget loads the napari-clusters-plotter/plotter-widget with correct layer selected. We don't need napari-clusters-plotter/dimensionality-reduction.

• Clear the layers when Load button is pressed. If layers are present, and the Load button is pressed, I get an error.

Animations like the following are handy for exploring each FOV. The speed of analysis will improve if we don't have to do the dimensionality reduction for each FOV.

I couldn't cluster the instances manually - perhaps because I have napari 0.5. I get the following error when I draw an ROI.

@mattersoflight I fixed it in 6d1b8f4. Did you run installation again after pulling?

[Soorya19Pradeep]

@ziw-liu , I am getting the following error after I pulled the changes:

Any idea what happened here?

[ziw-liu]

@Soorya19Pradeep Please run pip install again after pulling. There were some dependency updates to make ultrack work.

[Soorya19Pradeep]

Thanks @ziw-liu ! It works well!
