Description (last modified by mlinkert)
1, 2 and 4 bit images are currently supported, but not in the most flexible way. Instead of storing these images in their original bit depth, we automatically convert them to 8 bit data and throw away the original bit depth. We should do the following:
- use the type BufferedImage?.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY when constructing BufferedImages?
- add a new flag to the API to toggle how openBytes handles < 8 bit data - developers can choose whether to get original data (e.g. 1 byte represents 8 pixels), or expanded data (i.e. 1 byte represents 1 pixel)
- potentially add new pixel types to the OME data model (uint1, uint2, uint4, etc.)
- update the TIFF writer to export 1, 2 and 4 bit data

- Description modified (diff)
- Keywords model TiffReader export added
- Owner mlinkert deleted
- Version set to OMERO-5.2.0
Note that current versions of the OME-XML schema allow for a BIT type (i.e. uint1), so point 2 is partially resolved and point 4 can be done as part of #12599. Whether uint2/uint4 are still relevant for inclusion is probably up for debate.
The second point above is related to the discussion in #12599; if it's useful to have a way to get the packed representation, that might be best done through a ReaderWrapper? implementation.
