Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Model for Gigapixel Image Synthesis in Histopathology (2312.01152v1)
Published 2 Dec 2023 in eess.IV and cs.CV
Abstract: Diagnoses from histopathology images rely on information from both high and low resolutions of Whole Slide Images. Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Models (URCDMs) allow for the synthesis of high-resolution images that are realistic at all magnification levels, focusing not only on fidelity but also on long-distance spatial coherency. Our model beats existing methods, improving the pFID-50k [2] score by 110.63 to 39.52 pFID-50k. Additionally, a human expert evaluation study was performed, reaching a weighted Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.11 for the Lower Resolution Diffusion Models and a weighted MAE of 0.22 for the URCDM.
