Abstract
Pycsou is an open-source Python computational imaging software framework. It natively supports hardware acceleration and distributed computing. Its microservice architecture ensures optimized and scalable computational imaging tools that are easy to share across modalities. The framework's domain-agnosticity keeps it lightweight, accessible, and portable. However, some imaging communities face challenges due to this generic nature. This project introduces Pycsou FAIR, a web platform, meta-programming framework, and interoperability protocol. It aims to enhance the discovery, development, and sharing of FAIR-compliant image reconstruction plugins at scale. Imaging scientists can readily integrate modern computational imaging methods into their processing pipelines.
