Impact of color augmentation and tissue type in deep learning for hematoxylin and eosin image super resolution

ABSTRACT: Single image super-resolution is an important computer vision task with applications including remote sensing, medical imaging, and surveillance. Modern work on super-resolution utilizes deep learning to synthesize high resolution (HR) images from low resolution images (LR). With the increased utilization of digitized whole slide images (WSI) in pathology workflows, digital pathology has emerged as a promising domain for super-resolution. Despite extensive existing research into super-resolution, there remain challenges specific to digital pathology. Here, we investigated image augmentation techniques for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) WSI super-resolution and model generalizability across diverse tissue types. In addition, we investigated shortcomings with common quality metrics (peak signal
