• Abstract summary: In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end framework that applies direct regression and classification for preset anchor points. Specifically, we propose a pyramidal feature aggregation strategy to combine low-level features and high-level semantics simultaneously. In addition, an optimized cost function is designed to adapt our multi-task learning framework by matching ground truth and predicted points.

• Abstract: Reliable quantitative analysis of immunohistochemical staining images requires accurate and robust cell detection and classification. Recent weakly-supervised methods usually estimate probability density maps for cell recognition. However, in dense cell scenarios, their performance can be limited by pre- and post-processing as it is impossible to find a universal parameter setting. In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end framework that applies direct regression and classification for preset anchor points. Specifically, we propose a pyramidal feature aggregation strategy to combine low-level features and high-level semantics simultaneously, which provides accurate cell recognition for our purely point-based model. In addition, an optimized cost function is designed to adapt our multi-task learning framework by matching ground truth and predicted points. The experimental results demonstrate the superior accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, which reveals the high potentiality in assisting pathologist assessments.

  Point-based cell detection (PCD) has garnered increased attention in computational pathology community. Unlike mainstream PCD methods that rely on intermediate density map representations, the Point-to-Point network (P2PNet) has recently emerged as an end-to-end solution for PCD. P2PNet is limited to decoding from a single-level feature map due to the scale-agnostic property of point proposals. The proposed method directly extracts multi-scale features for decoding according to the coordinates of point proposals on hierarchical feature maps.
