Dlup offers a set of utilities to ease the process of running Deep Learning algorithms on Whole Slide Images.
- Read whole-slide images at any arbitrary resolution by seamlessly interpolating between the pyramidal levels
- Supports multiple backends, including OpenSlide and VIPS, with the possibility to add custom backends
- Dataset classes to handle whole-slide images in a tile-by-tile manner compatible with pytorch
- Annotation classes which can load GeoJSON, V7 Darwin, HALO and ASAP formats and read parts of it (e.g. a tile)
- Transforms to handle annotations per tile, resulting, together with the dataset classes a dataset consisting of tiles of whole-slide images with corresponding masks as targets, readily useable with a pytorch dataloader
- Command-line utilities to report on the metadata of WSIs, and convert masks to polygons

The package can be installed using python -m pip install dlup
