What is Minerva?

Minerva is a suite of software tools for tissue atlases and digital pathology that enables interactive viewing and fast sharing of large image data. It comprises of Minerva Author, a tool that lets you easily create and annotate images, and Minerva Story, a narrative image viewer for web hosting.

For users (authors): If you are interested in creating a Minerva Story, start by downloading this example dataset. Keep an eye out for new releases and tell us if you find a bug.

For viewers: If you are interested in hosting a Minerva Story on the web, start by viewing some completed example stories hosted on our website.

For developers: If you are interested in contributing to Minerva as a developer, read the contribution guidelines and the information for developers.

For everyone: If you are interested in learning who the people on the Minerva Team are or hearing about Minerva news and updates.


How does Minerva work?

Minerva follows a client-server model for delivering content. Images in OME-TIFF or SVS format are imported into Minerva Author where a user sets image settings and annotations. Minerva Author then renders image pyramids and a configuration file that is read by Minerva Story to deliver the content to viewers.
