What problem does it solve?
HistoLab helps you turn gigapixel whole slide images into manageable, analysis-ready datasets by automatically detecting tissue, extracting informative tiles, and applying preprocessing filters.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Whole-slide management: Load WSI files, inspect slide metadata, generate thumbnails, and work with pyramid levels.
- Tissue detection & masking: Create tissue masks (or the bounding box of the largest tissue region) to exclude background and artifacts.
- Tile extraction strategies: Random, grid, and score-based extraction for sampling, full coverage, or quality-driven dataset curation.
- Preprocessing filters & composition: Chain image/morphological filters for robust tissue segmentation and tile conditioning.
- Visualization & QA: Preview masks and tile locations, inspect extracted tiles, and generate reports for selection workflows.
Quick Start
Load a slide, create a tissue mask, preview tile locations, and extract tiles into your output directory using RandomTiler.
