Deep texture representation analysis for histopathological images

Deep texture representations (DTRs) produced from a bilinear convolutional neural network allow objective quantification of tumor histopathology images effectively. They can be used for various analyses, including visualization of morphological correlation between histology images, content-based image retrieval (CBIR), and supervised learning. This protocol describes the simplified workflow to analyze DTRs from data preparation, visualization of the histological profile, and CBIR analysis, to supervised learning model development to predict the profile from histological images. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Komura et al. (2022).¹.
