Xenium Ranger 3.0.1.1 after Cellpose resegmentation - "ValueError: A linearring requires at least 4 coordinates."

[Lem-P]

After segmentation with cellpose, I ran Xenium Ranger 3.0.1.1
xeniumranger import-segmentation --id=my_ID \ --xenium-bundle=$DIR/outs \ --nuclei=$DIR/outs/mask_nuclei.ome_cp_masks.tif \ --cells=$DIR/outs/mask_cells.ome_cp_masks.tif

When I try to read the output folder with spatialdata_io (0.1.7.dev5+g82ff327), spatialdata (0.2.7.dev7+gd746485)
sdata = spatialdata_io.xenium(dir)
I get this error:
"ValueError: A linearring requires at least 4 coordinates."

Is there a temporary workaround to manually create the SpatialData data framework from Xenium ranger output? (I mean a tutorial/notebook/...)

[Lem-P]

Nobody have an idea about how to resolve this issue?
Does anybody knows how to download the previous working version of Xenium Ranger (v3.0.0.0)?
Or any tutorial to manually create the spatial data object from Xenium Ranger output?

[Lem-P]

After updating to Xenium Ranger v3.1, still not working.
Nobody has any idea how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
You should inspect your cellpose segmentation and make sure you do not have polygons with less than 4 vertices.
If you want to load this Cellpose segmentation anyway, you can remove all cell polygons with less than 4 vertices:
(Usually this represent a very low number of cells, ~ 0.1%)

cell_boundaries = pd.read_parquet("./cell_boundaries.parquet")
cells_to_remove = cell_boundaries.groupby("cell_id").filter(lambda x: len(x) < 4).cell_id.unique()
cell_boundaries = cell_boundaries[~cell_boundaries.cell_id.isin(cells_to_remove)]
cell_boundaries.to_parquet("./cell_boundaries.parquet")

If you do you, you should certainly also modify the transcripts file and the count matrix; be careful not to modify your raw data, it can be a bit dangerous to do this !

Thanks @Lem-P for reporting and thanks @ConstensouxAlexis for sharing a workaround. @Lem-P does this solve your issue?

If not, I'll be happy to have a look into this, but please I ask you to share a reproducible script running on some public data to be making it easier to inspect this. Thank you.

I think this is issue is caused by Xeniumranger import-segmentation and by spatialdata. When I run xeniumranger with a custom segmentation (Baysor or CellPose), even if I make sure all my segmented cells can be casted to Polygon and have more than 4 vertices, Xeniumranger will create some cells with less than 4 vertices. I haven't figured out yet what could be the problem !
