Prototype of a Comprehensive System for Automated Generation and Expert Validation of Labeled Patches on Papanicolaou Test WSI Images for Semi-supervised Training of YOLO Models in Automated Cervical Cytology Diagnosis
摘要
This paper presents a comprehensive prototype of a tool for generating and validating patches and labels in YOLO (You Only Look Once) format from whole-slide images (WSIs) of the Pap test. The system combines patch and label generation in Qupath with a Groovy script and visual validation of labels using OpenCV. One of the most innovative contributions is the development of a web application, utilizing Flask, for expert review of the validated patches generated in Qupath. This approach generates a method for quality control of dataset development for training Deep Learning models from Pap test WSI annotations. While still in the prototype phase, this tool demonstrates significant potential as a foundation for developing robust and scalable clinical applications of artificial intelligence in digital cervical cytology.
