List of features extracted for the purpose of predicting lymph node metastases type. Features were extracted after thresholding tumour probability heatmaps. For feature numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 the following statistics were computed- maximum, mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis.
| No. | Feature description | Threshold (p) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Largest tumour region’s major axis length | & |
| 2 | Largest tumour region’s area | |
| 3 | Ratio of tumour region to tissue region | |
| 4 | Count of non-zero pixels | |
| 5 | Tumour regions area | |
| 6 | Tumour regions perimeter | |
| 7 | Tumour regions eccentricity | |
| 8 | Tumour regions extent | |
| 9 | Tumour regions solidity | |
| 10 | Mean of all region’s mean confidence probability | |
| 11 | Number of connected regions |
