Extract Image features from VisiumHD and Squidpy

[sokratiag]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to extract image features from a visium HD dataset using spatialdata and squidpy? Is this supported?

Thanks,
Sokratia

Hi @giovp i wonder whether you are planning to have the draft you mention soon? I noticed that there is a function to_legacy_anndata that converts spatialdata object to anndata so then in principle you can use the converted anndata to extract image features using squidpy, however i am not sure if this is a good practise due to the image downscaling. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks!
