What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the complex and time-consuming process of analyzing whole slide images (WSIs) in digital pathology, enabling efficient computational analysis of histopathology slides.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Whole Slide Image Processing: Load, inspect, and process gigapixel pathology slides.
- Tissue Detection & Segmentation: Automatically identify and segment tissue regions.
- Tile Extraction: Extract informative tiles using random, grid, or score-based strategies.
- Image Filtering & Preprocessing: Apply various filters for artifact removal and feature enhancement.
- Visualization: Preview masks, tile locations, and extracted tiles.
- Use Case: Prepare a dataset of 512x512 pixel tiles from H&E stained whole slide images for training a deep learning model to detect cancer cells, ensuring each tile contains at least 80% tissue.
Quick Start
Use the histolab skill to extract 100 random 512x512 pixel tiles from the whole slide image 'slide.svs', ensuring each tile has at least 80% tissue content.
