Extracting tiles from specific WSI locations
Hi!
First of all, thank you very much for your work on the library. I think it is great!
I was looking into ways of extracting patches at specific locations (X,Y) in the slide. I have checked that, one you have a cell-segmentation, you can apply it to use cells as centroids. However, I was wondering if there is a way to call the extract_tiles function (or a workaround), to use (X,Y) locations to extract the tiles and save them as TFrecords.
Thank you very much for your help!
Yes, it is possible to extract patches at specific (X, Y) coordinates in the slide. It is straightforward to do this one patch at a time, but may require a small workaround to leverage the efficient multiprocessing built into the .extract_tiles() function.
Either myself, or someone from our team, will circle back in the next day or so with a code example. We'll also expand the documentation to note this functionality.
