Abstract
A computer implemented method of generating at least one shape of a region of interest in a digital image is provided. The method includes obtaining, by an image processing engine, access to a digital tissue image of a biological sample; tiling, by the image processing engine, the digital tissue image into a collection of image patches; identifying, by the image processing engine, a set of target tissue patches from the collection of image patches as a function of pixel content within the collection of image patches; assigning, by the image processing engine, each target tissue patch of the set of target tissue patches an initial class probability score indicating a probability that the target tissue patch falls within a class of interest, the initial class probability score generated by a trained classifier executed on each target tissue patch; generating, by the image processing engine, a first set of tissue region seed patches by identifying target tissue patches having initial class probability scores that satisfy a first seed region criteria, the first set of tissue region seed patches comprising a subset of the set of target tissue patches; generating, by the image processing…
