Usage instruction

Each sub-directory contains a separate README instruction. File paths in the code might need to be changed before running.

• OralCellDataPreparation/ – Nucleus Detection (ND) and Focus Selection (FS) modules trained on our data. This will prepare all nucleus patches for classification. It can be tuned to better performance on a new dataset by the code in two directories below:
  • NucleusDetection/ – to customise the ND module.
    • VOC2007/ - to prepare training data for the ND module.
  • FocusSelection/ – to customise the FS module.
• Classification/ – Classification module.

Example results

Left: pineline on pap-smear data; Right: pineline on liquid-based data

Dependencies

oralscreen_env.yml includes the full list of packages used to run the experiments. Some packages might be unnecessary.
