CD-Net: Histopathology Representation Learning Using Pyramidal Context-Detail Network
Abstract: Extracting rich phenotype information, such as cell density and arrangement, from whole slide histology images (WSIs), requires analysis of large field of view, i.e. more contextual information. This can be achieved through analyzing the digital slides at lower resolution. A potential drawback is missing out on details present at a higher resolution. To jointly leverage complementary information from multiple resolutions, we present a novel transformer based Pyramidal Context-Detail Network (CD-Net).
