Abstract
We present a method to segment individual glands from colon histopathology images. Segmentation based on sliding window classification does not usually make explicit use of information about the spatial configurations of class labels. To improve on this we propose to segment glands using a structure learning approach in which the local label configurations (structures) are considered when training a support vector machine classifier. The proposed method not only distinguishes foreground from background, it also distinguishes between different local structures in pixel labelling, e.g. locations between adjacent glands and locations far from glands. It directly predicts these label configurations at test time. Experiments demonstrate that it produces better segmentations than when the local label structure is not used to train the classifier.
