In this release, we provide model weights to run the Demo notebook.
Note that re-training or fine-tuning the network on your own data will most likely improve normalization performance.

Overview

In this release, we include the full validation data set used in our original work.
It is mainly meant as a validation dataset for benchmarking stain normalization algorithms.
The dataset is comprised of 5 different blocks, from which 5 different regions of 1000x1000px were extracted at 4x magnification. For each of these regions, we provide 9 different staining protocols as described in our paper.

By manually extracting and adjusting the patches, we ensured that for a given block and region, the distribution of tissue among the different staining protocols is comparable.

Attached we provide the dataset (550 MB) and checksums.

File Names

The files are labeled according to block, region and protocol:

ilu_{slide identifier}_{region identifier}_{protocol identifier}.tif

Possible values for the region range from 01 to 05, possible values for the protocol range from 01 to 09.
