tissue-tile-quality-filter 0.1.3

A Python pipeline for histology image tile quality filtering with blur detection and tissue coverage analysis

Tissue Tile Quality Filter Pipeline

A production-grade Python pipeline for automated quality assessment of histology image tiles. Detects blur, tissue coverage, and filters tiles based on configurable quality thresholds.

Installation

From PyPI (recommended)

pip install tissue-tile-quality-filter

From source (development)

git clone https://github.com/sinemdemirkayabudak/tissue-tile-quality-filter.git
cd tissue-tile-quality-filter
uv sync

Usage

There are two ways to use this package: CLI for quick batch processing, or Python API for integration into your own code.

CLI Usage

Process a directory of tiles from the command line:

# Basic usage (installed via pip)
tissue-tile-quality-filter process ./tiles

# With options
tissue-tile-quality-filter process ./tiles \
  --batch-id my_batch \
  --threshold high \
  --output ./results \
  --workers 4 \
  --verbose

# View quality thresholds
tissue-tile-quality-filter info

If running from source (development):

# Development usage (with uv)
uv run tissue-tile-quality-filter process ./tiles --verbose

Options:

• --output, -o: Output directory (default: ./results)
• --batch-id, -b: Batch identifier (default: batch_001)
• --threshold, -t: Quality threshold: high, medium, low (default: medium)
• --workers, -w: Number of parallel workers (default: auto-detect CPU count)
• --verbose, -v: Enable verbose output

Python API Usage

Integrate the pipeline into your own Python code:

from pathlib import Path
from tissue_tile_quality_filter import TileQualityFilterPipeline, export_to_csv

# Initialize pipeline
pipeline = TileQualityFilterPipeline(
    batch_id="my_batch",
    pass_threshold="medium",
    max_workers=4  # Parallel processing
)

# Process directory
batch_report = pipeline.process_directory(Path("./tiles"))

# Export results
export_to_csv(batch_report, Path("./results/tiles.csv"))

# Access batch statistics
print(f"Passed: {batch_report.passed_tiles}/{batch_report.total_tiles}")
print(f"Pass rate: {batch_report.pass_rate:.1f}%")

See docs/python_api_usage.py for complete examples.

Docker

Run the pipeline in a containerized environment for reproducibility and portability.

Using pre-built image (recommended)

# Pull from Docker registry
docker pull sinembudak/tissue-tile-quality-filter:v0.1.0

# Process tiles using volume mount
docker run --rm \
  -v ./example_tiles/synthetic_tiles:/input:ro \
  -v ./docker_results:/output:rw \
  sinembudak/tissue-tile-quality-filter:v0.1.0 \
  process /input --output /output --verbose

# View available commands
docker run --rm sinembudak/tissue-tile-quality-filter:v0.1.0 --help

Building from source

# Build the image locally
docker build -t tissue-tile-quality-filter:v0.1.0 .

# Run the local build
docker run --rm \
  -v ./example_tiles/synthetic_tiles:/input:ro \
  -v ./docker_results:/output:rw \
  tissue-tile-quality-filter:v0.1.0 \
  process /input --output /output --verbose
