Abstract
Embodiments include accessing a set of digital pathology (DP) images having an imaging parameter; applying a low-computational cost histology quality control (HistoQC) pipeline to the DP images, where the low-computational cost HistoQC pipeline computes a first set of image metrics associated with a DP image, and assigns the DP image to a first or a second, different cohort based on the imaging parameter and the first set of image metrics; applying a first, higher-computational-cost HistoQC pipeline to a member of the first cohort; applying a second, different higher-computation-cost HistoQC pipeline to a member of the second cohort; where the first or second, higher-computational-cost HistoQC pipeline determines an artifact-free region of the member of the first or second cohort, respectively, and classifies the member of the first or second cohort, respectively, as suitable or unsuitable for downstream computation or diagnostic analysis based, at least in part, on the artifact free region.
