Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device that classifies a mesothelioma image is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device segments the mesothelioma image into a region of interest that includes information useful for classification, and a background region, by applying a first convolutional neural network. In addition, the device tiles the region of interest into a set of tiles. For each tile, the device extracts a feature vector of that tile by applying a second convolutional neural network, where the features of the feature vectors represent local descriptors of the tile. Furthermore, the device processes the extracted feature vectors of the set of tiles to classify the image.
