We compare variational image registration in consectutive and re-stained sections from histopathology. We present a fully-automatic algorithm for non-parametric (nonlinear) image registration and apply it to a previously existing dataset from the ANHIR challenge (230 slide pairs, consecutive sections) and a new dataset (hybrid re-stained and consecutive, 81 slide pairs, ca. 3000 landmarks) which is made publicly available. Registration hyperparameters are obtained in the ANHIR dataset and applied to the new dataset without modification. In the new dataset, landmark errors after registration range from 13.2 micrometers for consecutive sections to 1 micrometer for re-stained sections. We observe that non-parametric registration leads to lower landmark errors in both cases, even though the effect is smaller in re-stained sections. The nucleus-level alignment after non-parametric registration of re-stained sections provides a valuable tool to generate automatic ground-truth for machine learning applications in histopathology.
Deformable image registration (DIR) is essential for many image-guided therapies. Recently, deep learning approaches have gained substantial popularity and success in DIR. Most deep learning approaches use the so-called mono-stream high-to-low, low-t
The distribution and appearance of nuclei are essential markers for the diagnosis and study of cancer. Despite the importance of nuclear morphology, there is a lack of large scale, accurate, publicly accessible nucleus segmentation data. To address t
Joint analysis of multiple biomarker images and tissue morphology is important for disease diagnosis, treatment planning and drug development. It requires cross-staining comparison among Whole Slide Images (WSIs) of immuno-histochemical and hematoxyl
Histopathological images provide rich information for disease diagnosis. Large numbers of histopathological images have been digitized into high resolution whole slide images, opening opportunities in developing computational image analysis tools to
Classical pairwise image registration methods search for a spatial transformation that optimises a numerical measure that indicates how well a pair of moving and fixed images are aligned. Current learning-based registration methods have adopted the s
