histolab
Lightweight WSI tile extraction and preprocessing. Use for basic slide processing tissue detection, tile extraction, stain normalization for H&E images. Best for simple pipelines, dataset preparation, quick tile-based analysis. For advanced spatial proteomics, multiplexed imaging, or deep learning pipelines use pathml.

# Histolab
## Overview
Histolab is a Python library for processing whole slide images (WSI) in digital pathology. It automates tissue detection, extracts informative tiles from gigapixel images, and prepares datasets for deep learning pipelines. The library handles multiple WSI formats, implements sophisticated tissue segmentation, and provides flexible tile extraction strategies.
## Routing Boundary
Use this skill for basic WSI tile extraction, tissue detection, H&E tile preprocessing, and quick histolab dataset preparation. Full computational pathology workflows, PathML pipelines, nucleus segmentation, spatial pathology, multiplex pathology, DICOM/IDC retrieval, OMERO server work, and generic image-processing tasks are outside this skill.
## Installation
```bash
uv pip install histolab
