a Illustration of the patch-based inference mechanism for radiology images. This process is repeated till the complete image gets processed. b Steps to perform specialized inference for histology images. Starting with the raw whole slide image (WSI), multiple specialized pre-processing steps (ii-vi) are performed before a patch can be given as input to a trained model. The coordinates of each patch need to be saved along with the overlap information in order to obtain the final result.
