Patent ID: 11861836

Abstract:
The degree of differentiation of a cell in tissue is precisely determined. An estimating device (1) includes: a binarizing section (41) configured to generate binarized images from an image obtained by capturing an image of tissue; a Betti number calculating section (42) configured to calculate, for each binarized image, (i) the number of hole-shaped regions (b1) each surrounded by pixels of a first pixel value and each composed of pixels of a second pixel value, (ii) the number of connected regions each composed of the pixels of the first pixel value connected together, and (iii) a ratio (R) between (i) and (ii); a statistic calculating section (43) configured to calculate statistics of the calculated numbers (b1, b0) and ratio (R); and an estimating section (44) configured to feed input data including the calculated statistics to a trained estimating model to output the degree of differentiation of the cell in tissue.
