• Abstract summary: We propose to segment the ink-marked areas of pathology patches through a deep network. A dataset from $79$ whole slide images with $4,305$ patches was created and different networks were trained. The results showed an FPN model with the EffiecentNet-B3 as the backbone was found to be the superior configuration with an F1 score of $94.53%$.

• Abstract: Due to the recent advancements in machine vision, digital pathology has gained significant attention. Histopathology images are distinctly rich in visual information. The tissue glass slide images are utilized for disease diagnosis. Researchers study many methods to process histopathology images and facilitate fast and reliable diagnosis; therefore, the availability of high-quality slides becomes paramount. The quality of the images can be negatively affected when the glass slides are ink-marked by pathologists to delineate regions of interest. As an example, in one of the largest public histopathology datasets, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), approximately $12\%$ of the digitized slides are affected by manual delineations through ink markings. To process these open-access slide images and other repositories for the design and validation of new methods, an algorithm to detect the marked regions of the images is essential to avoid confusing tissue pixels with ink-colored pixels for computer methods. In this study, we propose to segment the ink-marked areas of pathology patches through a deep network. A dataset from $79$ whole slide images with $4,305$ patches was created and different networks were trained. Finally, the results showed an FPN model with the EffiecentNet-B3 as the backbone was found to be the superior configuration with an F1 score of $94.53\%$.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  Whole-slide-images typically have to be divided into smaller patches which are then analyzed individually using machine learning-based approaches. We propose to subdivide the image into coherent regions prior to classification by grouping visually similar adjacent image pixels into larger segments, i.e. superpixels. The algorithm has been developed and validated on a dataset of 159 hand-annotated whole-slide-images of colon resections and its performance has been compared to a standard patch-based approach.

Small subimages called patches are extracted and predicted, obtaining a patch-level classification.
