Research direction

Start by comparing the tutorial's mpp handling with the journal article's preprocessing statement. Determine which guidance applies to imaging mass cytometry inputs, then update the relevant tutorial or documentation so the required preprocessing and mpp parameter usage are unambiguous; done means users can follow one consistent workflow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Read Me:

Image preprocessing: See the paper for details.

Journal article:

all datasets were resampled to 0.5 microns per pixel (mpp) using nearest-neighbor interpolation and without anti-aliasing.

Tutorial:

mpp = ds["image"].attrs["mpp"]
deepcell_types.predict(img, mask, chnames, mpp, model_name=model, device_num=device, num_workers=num_data_loader_threads)

So, should one up-sample their imaging mass cytometry image or should they specify mpp as a parameter? Surely not both.
