title: Towards a computer aided diagnosis system dedicated to virtual microscopy based on stereology sampling and diffusion maps.
abstract: An original strategy is presented, combining stereological sampling methods based on test grids and data reduction methods based on diffusion maps, in order to build a knowledge image database with no bias introduced by a subjective choice of exploration areas. The practical application of the exposed methodology concerns virtual slides of breast tumors.
