Abstract

Purpose: Automatic outlining of different tissue types in digitized histological specimen provides a basis for follow-up analyses and can potentially guide subsequent medical decisions. The immense size of whole-slide-images (WSIs), however, poses a challenge in terms of computation time. In this regard, the analysis of nonoverlapping patches outperforms pixelwise segmentation approaches but still leaves room for optimization. Furthermore, the division into patches, regardless of the biological structures they contain, is a drawback due to the loss of local dependencies.
