• Abstract: We address the problem of automated nuclear segmentation, classification, and quantification from Haematoxylin and Eosin stained histology images, which is of great relevance for several downstream computational pathology applications. In this work, we present a solution framed as a simultaneous semantic and instance segmentation framework. Our solution is part of the Colon Nuclei Identification and Counting (CoNIC) Challenge. We first train a semantic and instance segmentation model separately. Our framework uses as backbone HoverNet and Cascade Mask-RCNN models. We then ensemble the results with a custom Non-Maximum Suppression embedding (NMS). In our framework, the semantic model computes a class prediction for the cells whilst the instance model provides a refined segmentation. We demonstrate, through our experimental results, that our model outperforms the provided baselines by a large margin.

  We propose a novel graph-based framework to leverage the inter-relationships among different types of nuclei for WSI analysis. Specifically, we formulate the WSI as a heterogeneous graph with "nucleus-type" attribute to each node and a semantic attribute similarity to each edge. Our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with considerable margins on various tasks.

  Methods first performs instance segmentation and semantic segmentation separately, then combines the two to generate panoptic segmentation results. We add several expert models of Mask R-CNN in instance segmentation to tackle the data imbalance problem in the training data. In semantic segmentation, we trained several models with various backbones and use an ensemble strategy which further boosts the segmentation results.
