Since the size of WSIs is extremely large, the image label usually contains only slide-level label or limited pixel-level labels. The current mainstream approach adopts multi-instance learning to predict Gleason grades. However, some methods only considering the slide-level label ignore the limited pixel-level labels containing rich local information. Furthermore, the method of additionally considering the pixel-level labels ignores the inaccuracy of pixel-level labels. To address these problems, we propose a mixed supervision Transformer based on the multiple instance learning framework. The model utilizes both slidelevel label and instance-level labels to achieve more accurate Gleason grading at the slide level. The impact of inaccurate instance-level labels is further reduced by introducing an eﬃcient random masking strategy in the mixed supervision training process. We achieve the state-of-the-art performance on the SICAPv2 dataset, and the visual analysis shows the accurate prediction results of instance level.

overview

Data Preprocess

SICAPv2 dataset is a database containing prostate histology whole slide images with both annotations of global Gleason scores and path-level Gleason grades. We follow the data process pipeline of SegGini-MICCAI 2021. We provide the processed data (containing extracted instance feature, slide-level and generated instance-level labels). Download the processed_data and then put them into the data/SICAPv2. The form is as follows:
