Region of Interest Information in TCGA Histopathological Image

Question

[amandal]

I have downloaded histopathological image data from TCGA. I want to extract features from these images. The dimension of these images are huge and in .SVS format. I am not able to open these images in linux system. How do I preprocess these images, so that I can extract features from these images? There is no information of region of interest. From where I can get these information?

Try this: Python package for dealing with whole slide images (.svs) for machine learning, particularly for fast prototyping. Includes patch sampling and storing using OpenSlide. Patches may be stored in LMDB, HDF5 files, or to disk. It is highly recommended to fork and download this repository so that personal customisations can be made for your work.
