Abstract

Nuclei segmentation plays an import role in histopathology images analysis. Deep learning approaches have shown its strength for histopathology images processing in various studies. In this paper, we proposed a novel deep learning framework for automatic nuclei segmentation. The framework adopts the Mask R-CNN as backbone and employs structure-preserving color normalization (SPCN) and watershed for pre- and post-processing. The proposed framework achieved a Dice score of 90.46% on the validation set, which demonstrates its competing segmentation performance.
