全幻灯片图像(WSI)是高分辨率、千兆像素级的图像,因其尺寸和异质性给传统机器学习模型带来显著计算挑战。本文提出一种可扩展且高效的WSI分类方法,结合基于块的特征提取、聚类与Fisher向量编码。首先,将WSI划分为固定大小的图像块,并使用预训练卷积神经网络(CNN)提取每个块的深度特征嵌入。随后,利用K-means聚类对这些块级嵌入进行聚类,每个聚类聚合语义相似的组织区域。为有效总结每个聚类,通过参数化高斯混合模型(GMM)建模各聚类中块嵌入的分布,计算其Fisher向量表示。将各聚类的Fisher向量拼接成高维特征向量,形成整个WSI的紧凑且信息丰富的表示。该特征向量随后用于分类器预测图像的诊断标签。本方法捕捉局部与全局组织结构,在大规模WSI分类任务中表现出色,相比其他方法具有更高的准确率和更强的可扩展性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Whole slide images (WSIs) are high-resolution, gigapixel sized images that pose significant computational challenges for traditional machine learning models due to their size and heterogeneity.In this paper, we present a scalable and efficient methodology for WSI classification by leveraging patch-based feature extraction, clustering, and Fisher vector encoding. Initially, WSIs are divided into fixed size patches, and deep feature embeddings are extracted from each patch using a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). These patch-level embeddings are subsequently clustered using K-means clustering, where each cluster aggregates semantically similar regions of the WSI. To effectively summarize each cluster, Fisher vector representations are computed by modeling the distribution of patch embeddings in each cluster as a parametric Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The Fisher vectors from each cluster are concatenated into a high-dimensional feature vector, creating a compact and informative representation of the entire WSI. This feature vector is then used by a classifier to predict the WSI's diagnostic label. Our method captures local and global tissue structures and yields robust performance for large-scale WSI classification, demonstrating superior accuracy and scalability compared to other approaches.
