N2 - Pathological diagnosis is used for examining cancer in detail, and its automation is in demand. To automatically segment each cancer area, a patch-based approach is usually used since a Whole Slide Image (WSI) is huge. However, this approach loses the global information needed to distinguish between classes. In this paper, we utilized the Distance from the Boundary of tissue (DfB), which is global information that can be extracted from the original image. We experimentally applied our method to the three-class classification of cervical cancer, and found that it improved the total performance compared with the conventional method.
