Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In many pipelines of digital pathology, we are dealing with patch-level annotations like existence of a tumor; however, these patch-level annotations are usually derived from annotations on the whole slide images, typically some polygons that distinguish the tumor vs normal regions. It would be great to implement the functionality to enable annotations for patches at arbitrary locations and various patch sizes.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing whole-slide annotation and patch-processing functionality, then define the inputs, outputs, arbitrary locations, and patch-size behavior before implementation. Done means reliable patch-level annotations can be generated from polygon annotations across the requested locations and sizes.
