Abstract
tissueloc: Whole slide digital pathology image tissue localization.
Highlights
As there are large amounts of background regions that are useless for diagnosis, researchers working on automatic whole slide image (WSI) diagnosis can utilize tissueloc to locate genuine tissue regions and focus their analysis on these regions
Overview tissueloc mainly contains two functionalities: selecting proper low level image from WSI and tissue localization based on the selected low level WSI
The proposed WSI tissue localization is very efficient as it is entirely based on basic image processing techniques and applied on low level image, which could act as a preprocessing step for automatic WSI analysis
Summary
Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Florida Submitted: 20 December 2018 Published: 02 January 2019 Background tissueloc is an open-source Python package for fast and accurate tissue localization on whole slide image (WSI). Automatic pathology diagnosis using WSI gradually becomes a research hotspot in biomedical imaging domain (Cruz-Roa et al, 2014, Barker, Hoogi, Depeursinge, & Rubin (2016)).
