Excerpt

Despite significant improvements in computer vision and image processing techniques, there are few software tools that are able to analyze prostate biopsy images in a fully automated way in order to find ROIs in those images. In order to develop a useful system, user interaction should be minimized, and the system should also be capable of dealing with images acquired at least at 10x magnification, since images of lower resolution do not provide enough information for cancer diagnosis. …
