Project summary: In this project, we used the idea of transfer learning to detect tumor on gigapixel pathology images. Our final model performs well both on training slide(
tumor_091.tif) and a random test slide(tumor_078.tif). What’s more, in the process of tuning, we also found that: (1) the smaller window size, center size and stride are, the more subtle result we could get; (2) resampling and data augmentation play an important role for detection when our dataset is extremely imbalanced. In our task, augmenting all data is better than augmenting tumor patches only because it did not sacrifice true negative rate so much; (4) it’s worthy to do foreground preprocess before training a model which could help us improve the model’s ability of generalization; (5) multi-scale model cannot outperform single-scale model because it would take a long time to train and its results are not subtle. Our final results are shown as below.
