Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Segmenting different tissue components in histopathological images is of great importance for analyzing tissues and tumor environments. In recent years, an encoder-decoder family of convolutional neural networks has increasingly adopted to develop automated segmentation tools. While an encoder has been the main focus of most investigations, the role of a decoder so far has not been well studied and understood. Herein, we proposed an improved design of a decoder for the segmentation of epithelium and stroma components in histopathology images.
