edit Aperio metadata

[Derek Magee]

Ashish,

You can use libtif to decode and re-save/re-compress* an svs file (jpeg only). This will get rid of all tags except the ones you copy across (I think). I found the following in my experimental folder from when I was trying to understand this format. I’ve not checked it still works, but it will give you an idea of where to start.

* Obviously recompression is undesirable, it’s probably worth modifying to extract the uncompressed data and just saving that back. From memory libtiff supports that, and would have the added benefit of allowing you to process jpeg2000 encoded files (which will probably cause the program below to crash as libtiff can’t natively decompress jpeg2000 by default).

Subject: edit Aperio metadata

Has anyone written an OpenSlide or TIFF based utility that allows one to edit header attributes, possibly as part of some anonymization script?
Or alternatively, scrub a specific tag like “Image-Description” or Comment in Aperio.

-Thanks
