Publication number: 20240274240Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of computers, and more particularly, to a method for generating training data based on immunohistochemistry, and a storage device. The method for generating the training data based on immunohistochemistry includes the following steps: performing immunohistochemical staining on a target object through different antibodies; labeling the target object according to staining results; and generating training data according to labeling results. According to the method, a pathologist can label a tissue or cell of interest rapidly and conveniently without performing labeling through H&E slicing in combination with histomorphology. In addition, since this tissue or cell is labeled based on an immunohistochemistry technology of a gold standard, this labeling is more accurate compared with manual labeling performed through H&E slicing in combination with histomorphology.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Qinghai YANG, Benliang CHENG, Huiling CHEN, Xiaoya WANG, Nannan WU, Honghui ZHOU
