Nuclei and Cell Segmentation in Histopathology Images
Abstract:
In the field of computational histopathology, nuclei segmentation is one of the important tasks. In the following works, we evaluate:
Different nuclei segmentation methods - Benchmarking image processing, machine learning, and deep learning-driven nuclei segmentation models
Test nuclei feature descriptors for disease stage classification of Gliomas
Combining nuclei segmentation for other pan-cancer domains
Fine-tuning pathology foundation models
Example Nuclei Segmentation with color decomposition active contours [1]
