What can machine vision do for lymphatic histopathology image analysis: a comprehensive review

Abstract

Over the past 10 years, machine vision (MV) algorithms for image analysis have been developing rapidly with computing power. At the same time, histopathological slices can be stored as digital images. Therefore, MV algorithms can provide diagnostic references to doctors. In particular, the continuous improvement of deep learning algorithms has further improved the accuracy of MV in disease detection and diagnosis. This paper reviews the application of image processing techniques based on MV in lymphoma histopathological images in recent years, including segmentation, classification and detection. Finally, the current methods are analyzed, some potential methods are proposed, and further prospects are made.
