USING CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION TO CLASSIFY NUCLEI IN HISTOLOGY IMAGES

摘要

Disclosed is a computer device and computer-implemented method of classifying cells within an image of a tissue sample comprising (1) providing the image of the tissue sample as input; (2) computing (111) nuclear feature metrics from features of nuclei within the image; (3) computing (112) contextual information metrics based on nuclei of interest with the image; (4) classifying the cells within the image using a combination of the nuclear feature metrics and contextual information metrics.
