Converting masks back to annotations

Overview:

Most segmentation algorithms produce outputs in an image format. Visualizing these outputs in HistomicsUI requires conversion from mask images to an annotation document containing (x,y) coordinates in the whole-slide image coordinate frame. This notebook demonstrates this conversion process in two steps:

  • Converting a mask image into contours (coordinates in the mask frame)

  • Placing contours data into a format following the annotation document schema that can be pushed to DSA for visualization in HistomicsUI.

This notebook is based on work described in Amgad et al, 2019:

Mohamed Amgad, Habiba Elfandy, Hagar Hussein, ..., Jonathan Beezley, Deepak R Chittajallu, David Manthey, David A Gutman, Lee A D Cooper, Structured crowdsourcing enables convolutional segmentation of histology images, Bioinformatics, 2019, btz083

Let's inspect the ground truth codes file

This contains the ground truth codes and information dataframe. This is a dataframe that is indexed by the annotation group name and has the following columns:

  • group: group name of annotation (string), eg. "mostly_tumor"
  • GT_code: int, desired ground truth code (in the mask) Pixels of this value belong to corresponding group (class)
  • color: str, rgb format. eg. rgb(255,0,0).

NOTE:

Zero pixels have special meaning and do not encode specific ground truth class. Instead, they simply mean 'Outside ROI' and should be ignored during model training or evaluation.

2. Get contours from mask

This function get_contours_from_mask() generates contours from a mask image. There are many parameters that can be set but most have defaults set for the most common use cases. The only required parameters you must provide are MASK and GTCodes_df, but you may want to consider setting the following parameters based on your specific needs: get_roi_contour, roi_group, discard_nonenclosed_background, background_group, that control behaviour regarding region of interest (ROI) boundary and background pixel class (e.g. stroma).


In [7]:
print(get_contours_from_mask.__doc__)


Parse ground truth mask and gets countours for annotations.

    Parameters
    -----------
    MASK : nd array
        ground truth mask (m,n) where pixel values encode group membership.
    GTCodes_df : pandas Dataframe
        the ground truth codes and information dataframe.
        This is a dataframe that is indexed by the annotation group name and
        has the following columns.

        group: str
            group name of annotation, eg. mostly_tumor.
        GT_code: int
            desired ground truth code (in the mask). Pixels of this value
            belong to corresponding group (class).
        color: str
            rgb format. eg. rgb(255,0,0).
    groups_to_get : None
        if None (default) then all groups (ground truth labels) will be
        extracted. Otherwise pass a list fo strings like ['mostly_tumor',].
    MIN_SIZE : int
        minimum bounding box size of contour
    MAX_SIZE : None
        if not None, int. Maximum bounding box size of contour. Sometimes
        very large contours cause segmentation faults that originate from
        opencv and are not caught by python, causing the python process
        to unexpectedly hault. If you would like to set a maximum size to
        defend against this, a suggested maximum would be 15000.
    get_roi_contour : bool
        whether to get contour for boundary of region of interest (ROI). This
        is most relevant when dealing with multiple ROIs per slide and with
        rotated rectangular or polygonal ROIs.
    roi_group : str
        name of roi group in the GT_Codes dataframe (eg roi)
    discard_nonenclosed_background : bool
        If a background group contour is NOT fully enclosed, discard it.
        This is a purely aesthetic method, makes sure that the background group
        contours (eg stroma) are discarded by default to avoid cluttering the
        field when posted to DSA for viewing online. The only exception is
        if they are enclosed within something else (eg tumor), in which case
        they are kept since they represent holes. This is related to
        https://github.com/DigitalSlideArchive/HistomicsTK/issues/675
        WARNING - This is a bit slower since the contours will have to be
        converted to shapely polygons. It is not noticeable for hundreds of
        contours, but you will notice the speed difference if you are parsing
        thousands of contours. Default, for this reason, is False.
    background_group : str
        name of background group in the GT_codes dataframe (eg mostly_stroma)
    verbose : bool
        Print progress to screen?
    monitorPrefix : str
        text to prepend to printed statements

            annotation group (ground truth label).
        color : str
            annotation color if it were to be posted to DSA.
        is_roi : bool
            whether this annotation is a region of interest boundary
        ymin : int
            minimun y coordinate
        ymax : int
            maximum y coordinate
        xmin : int
            minimum x coordinate
        xmax : int
            maximum x coordinate
        has_holes : bool
            whether this contour has holes
        touches_edge-top : bool
            whether this contour touches top mask edge
        touches_edge-bottom : bool
            whether this contour touches bottom mask edge
        touches_edge-left : bool
            whether this contour touches left mask edge
        touches_edge-right : bool
            whether this contour touches right mask edge
        coords_x : str

3. Get annotation documents from contours

This method get_annotation_documents_from_contours() generates formatted annotation documents from contours that can be posted to the DSA server.


In [10]:
print(get_annotation_documents_from_contours.__doc__)


Given dataframe of contours, get list of annotation documents.

    This method parses a dataframe of contours to a list of dictionaries, each
    of which represents and large_image style annotation. This is a wrapper
    that extends the functionality of the method
    get_single_annotation_document_from_contours(), whose docstring should
    be referenced for implementation details and further explanation.

    Parameters
    -----------
    contours_df : pandas DataFrame
        WARNING - This is modified inside the function, so pass a copy.
        This dataframe includes data on contours extracted from input mask
        using get_contours_from_mask(). If you have contours using some other
        method, just make sure the dataframe follows the same schema as the
        output from get_contours_from_mask(). You may find a sample dataframe
        in thie repo at ./tests/test_files/annotations_and_masks/sample_contours_df.tsv
        The following columns are relevant for this method.

        group : str
            annotation group (ground truth label).
        color : str
            annotation color if it were to be posted to DSA.
        coords_x : str
            vertix x coordinates comma-separated values
        coords_y
            vertix y coordinated comma-separated values
    separate_docs_by_group : bool
        if set to True, you get one or more annotation documents (dicts)
        for each group (eg tumor) independently.
    annots_per_doc : int
        maximum number of annotation elements (polygons) per dict. The smaller
        this number, the more numerous the annotation documents, but the more
        seamless it is to post this data to the DSA server or to view using the
        HistomicsTK interface since you will be loading smaller chunks of data
        at a time.
    annprops : dict
        properties of annotation elements. Contains the following keys
        F, X_OFFSET, Y_OFFSET, opacity, lineWidth. Refer to
        get_single_annotation_document_from_contours() for details.
    docnamePrefix : str
        test to prepend to annotation document name
    verbose : bool
        Print progress to screen?
    monitorPrefix : str
        text to prepend to printed statements

    Returns
    --------
    list of dicts
        DSA-style annotation document.

    

As mentioned in the docs, this function wraps get_single_annotation_document_from_contours()


In [11]:
print(get_single_annotation_document_from_contours.__doc__)


Given dataframe of contours, get annotation document.

    This uses the large_image annotation schema to create an annotation
    document that maybe posted to DSA for viewing using something like:
    resp = gc.post("/annotation?itemId=" + slide_id, json=annotation_doc)
    The annotation schema can be found at:
    github.com/girder/large_image/blob/master/docs/annotations.md .

    Parameters
    -----------
    contours_df_slice : pandas DataFrame
        The following columns are of relevance and must be contained.

        group : str
            annotation group (ground truth label).
        color : str
            annotation color if it were to be posted to DSA.
        coords_x : str
            vertix x coordinates comma-separated values
        coords_y
            vertix y coordinated comma-separated values
    docname : str
        annotation document name
    F : float
        how much smaller is the mask where the contours come from is relative
        to the slide scan magnification. For example, if the mask is at 10x
        whereas the slide scan magnification is 20x, then F would be 2.0.
    X_OFFSET : int
        x offset to add to contours at BASE (SCAN) magnification
    Y_OFFSET : int
        y offset to add to contours at BASE (SCAN) magnification
    opacity : float
        opacity of annotation elements (in the range [0, 1])
    lineWidth : float
        width of boarders of annotation elements
    verbose : bool
        Print progress to screen?
    monitorPrefix : str
        text to prepend to printed statements

    Returns
    --------
    dict
        DSA-style annotation document ready to be post for viewing.

    

Let's get a list of annotation documents (each is a dictionary). For the purpose of this tutorial, we separate the documents by group (i.e. each document is composed of polygons from the same style/group). You could decide to allow heterogeneous groups in the same annotation document by setting separate_docs_by_group to False. We place 10 polygons in each document for this demo for illustration purposes. Realistically you would want each document to contain several hundred depending on their complexity. Placing too many polygons in each document can lead to performance issues when rendering in HistomicsUI.

Let's examine one of the documents.

Limit display to the first two elements (polygons) and cap the vertices for clarity.


In [13]:
ann_doc = annotation_docs[0].copy()
ann_doc['elements'] = ann_doc['elements'][:2]
for i in range(2):
    ann_doc['elements'][i]['points'] = ann_doc['elements'][i]['points'][:5]

In [14]:
ann_doc


Out[14]:
{'name': 'demo_mostly_lymphocytic_infiltrate-0',
 'description': '',
 'elements': [{'group': 'mostly_lymphocytic_infiltrate',
   'type': 'polyline',
   'lineColor': 'rgb(0,0,255)',
   'lineWidth': 4.0,
   'closed': True,
   'points': [[61974.0, 37427.0, 0.0],
    [61975.0, 37428.0, 0.0],
    [61975.0, 37429.0, 0.0],
    [61976.0, 37430.0, 0.0],
    [61976.0, 37431.0, 0.0]],
   'label': {'value': 'mostly_lymphocytic_infiltrate'},
   'fillColor': 'rgba(0,0,255,0.2)'},
  {'group': 'mostly_lymphocytic_infiltrate',
   'type': 'polyline',
   'lineColor': 'rgb(0,0,255)',
   'lineWidth': 4.0,
   'closed': True,
   'points': [[60531.0, 37045.0, 0.0],
    [60528.0, 37048.0, 0.0],
    [60527.0, 37048.0, 0.0],
    [60522.0, 37053.0, 0.0],
    [60522.0, 37054.0, 0.0]],
   'label': {'value': 'mostly_lymphocytic_infiltrate'},
   'fillColor': 'rgba(0,0,255,0.2)'}]}

Post the annotation to the correct item/slide in DSA


In [15]:
# deleting existing annotations in target slide (if any)
existing_annotations = gc.get('/annotation/item/' + SAMPLE_SLIDE_ID)
for ann in existing_annotations:
    gc.delete('/annotation/%s' % ann['_id'])

# post the annotation documents you created    
for annotation_doc in annotation_docs:
    resp = gc.post(
        "/annotation?itemId=" + SAMPLE_SLIDE_ID, json=annotation_doc)

Now you can go to HistomicsUI and confirm that the posted annotations make sense and correspond to tissue boundaries and expected labels.
