Patent US 11,636,696

The present application relates generally to identifying regions of interest in images, including but not limited to whole slide image region of interest identification, prioritization, de-duplication, and normalization via interpretable rules, nuclear region counting, point set registration, and histogram specification color normalization. This disclosure describes systems and methods for analyzing and extracting regions of interest from images, for example biomedical images depicting a tissue sample from biopsy or ectomy. Techniques directed to quality control estimation, granular classification, and coarse classification of regions of biomedical images are described herein. Using the described techniques, patches of images corresponding to regions of interest can be extracted and analyzed individually or in parallel to determine pixels correspond to features of interest and pixels that do not. Patches that do not include features of interest, or include disqualifying features, can be disqualified from further analysis. Relevant patches can analyzed and stored with various feature parameters.
