histolytics 0.1.0

Panoptic Segmentation and WSI Spatial Analysis

A Python library for scalable panoptic spatial analysis of histological WSIs

Introduction

histolytics is a spatial analysis library for histological whole slide images (WSI) library built upon torch, geopandas and libpysal. The library contains multi-task encoder-decoder architectures for panoptic segmentation of WSIs into __geo_interface__-format and a wide array of spatial analysis tools for the resulting segmentation masks.

Features 🌟

• WSI-level panoptic segmentation
• Several panoptic segmentation models for histological WSIs
• Pre-trained models in model-hub. See: histolytics-hub
• Versatile spatial analysis tools for segmented WSIs
