histomicstk.saliency

This module contains various tools to detect tissue.

Included functionality includes methods to detect tissue in a whole-slide image (i.e. segment foreground from white space), as well as specific workflows that detect artifacts, specific components (eg blood), and highly-cellular regions within detected tissue.

• Tissue detection
• Cellularity detection (using thresholding)
• Cellularity detection (using superpixels)
