Hi I was wondering if there's any function to read tags from TIFF (not tif) files. This would be specially useful (me thinks) for microscopy because every company seems to have their own private tags. Even tough these tags are usually file offset, it would at least already help users a bit. This function could also be used by other functions that would read specific structures that these tags point to. I already wrote a function that gets the info from a specific tag on the first IFD of a TIFF file. I guess that I could easily change it to read any tag if you find it useful. However, the user would still need to know the value of the tag which is not always that trivial. I was wondering if such function would be a useful addition to the octave-forge or if you find it too specific. And where should I place it? In the image package, or maybe in io? Maybe create a new package for microscopy?
Also, I don't know how many users do microscopy of any kind but there's this microscopy image database called OMERO which is released under GPL. They have an under development matlab toolbox to interact with them. I was wondering if someone else would also be interested or already did something on this. I just got a grant to set OMERO in my lab so I'll be using and developing it soon and I'd welcome some pointers if anyone knows about java.
