  • Patent number: 11521301
    Abstract: The method includes generating, for each of a plurality of original images, a first artificially degraded image by applying a first image-artifact-generation logic on each of the original images; and generating the program logic by training an untrained version of a first machine-learning logic that encodes a first artifacts-removal logic on the original images and their respectively generated first degraded images; and returning the trained first machine-learning logic as the program logic or as a component thereof. The first image-artifact-generation logic is A) an image-acquisition-system-specific image-artifact-generation logic or B) a tissue-staining-artifact-generation logic.

  • Patent number: 11514569
    Abstract: The method according to the invention utilizes a color decomposition of histological tissue image data to derive a density map. The density map corresponds to the portion of the image data that contains the stain/tissue combination corresponding to the stroma, and at least one gland is extracted from said density map. The glands are obtained by a combination of a mask and a seed for each gland derived by adaptive morphological operations, and the seed is grown to the boundaries of the mask. The method may also derive an epithelial density map used to remove small objects not corresponding to epithelial tissue. The epithelial density map may further be utilized to improve the identification of glandular regions in the stromal density map. The segmented gland is extracted from the tissue data utilizing the grown seed as a mask. The gland is then classified according to its associated features.
