Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of learning model construction, and particularly to a colorectal adenoma recognition semantic segmentation deep learning system and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Histopathology provides the most accurate clinical treatment information for tumor diagnosis. However, even for experienced pathologists, manual evaluation can be time-consuming and subjective, which has led to the development of image analysis algorithms. Especially in recent years, deep learning-based methods have played an important role in the field of computational pathology.

[0003] Although deep convolutional neural networks have shown remarkable performance, the domain shift between training data (source domain) and test data (target domain) often hinders their generalization ability in real-world applications. In computational pathology, the variation in staining color is an important factor leading to staining; hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) is a popular stain applicable to whole-slide images, where the cell nuclei are blue (hematoxylin) and the cytoplasmic regions are pink (eosin). Multiple factors involved in the slide preparation, staining, and scanning processes can affect the final color appearance of colorectal adenoma case images, such as sample thickness, tissue fixation, staining protocol, scanning device, lighting conditions, etc. Therefore, slides from different medical institutions usually present different visual characteristics, and when deployed to a new hospital, the performance of deep convolutional neural networks often drops sharply;

[0004] To address this problem, existing methods aim to perform staining color normalization work, usually using image processing methods and deep generative models to segment the color distributions of training data and test data; and focusing on simulating the color variation of staining through color enhancement techniques; however, modifying the features of the input image does not always guarantee correct conversion and may introduce additional noise to the training stage.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a colorectal adenoma recognition semantic segmentation deep learning system and a construction method thereof. Summary of the Invention
