![]() Roughly the same number of training samples for each class You should usually aim to annotate your image so that you have: This depends upon the number of annotations with each classification, and the size of those annotations. The pie charts in the screenshots show the relative proportion of training samples for each class. When we’ve stretched the pixel classifier to its limit… and might need to supplement it with something else How to control the other options we have at our disposal to improve the classifier To use the pixel classifier effectively, we need to know: We can resolve some errors by adding more annotations, but this alone won’t be enough. You should find it quickly get some parts right… but quite a lot wrong. Live prediction based on one annotation per class. Getting started Īs before, we begin by annotating small regions that correspond to the different classes we are interested in, and use Live prediction to get a first impression.Īnnotating regions for three classes ( Tumor, Stroma and Ignore*). You can adjust the overlay opacity using the slider at the top, or by scrolling with the Ctrl or Cmd key pressed. Remember: You can toggle the overlay on and off by pressing the C button in the toolbar or C shortcut key (for classification). We will further look to identify everything else that is tissue, and a third class for the whitespace in the background. We will explore this using the example image OS-1.ndpi, using pixel classification to identify what I (perhaps mistakenly, since I’m only a computer scientist) suppose to be tumor. This means it can be applied in cases where a threshold would just not be accurate enough. Training a pixel classifier makes it possible to incorporate a lot more information than is possible with a simple threshold, and to determine the output in a much more sophisticated way. When you are done, you can enter the classifier name, save it, and create measurements or objects – in exactly the same way as for thresholding. You can proceed to add more annotations to refine these predictions. Pixel classification to find positive pixels. Press Live prediction and QuPath should already start showing its predicted classifications. ![]() ![]() You can get started quickly with Train pixel classifier by drawing two annotations in different parts of the image, and assigning classifications to these. This would allow us to identify regions not my manually defining thresholds, but rather through training by example. Returning to the example in Measuring areas, we could replace either of the thresholding steps with Classify ‣ Pixel classification ‣ Train pixel classifier.
