GPU-accelerated stain normalization tools for histopathological images. Compatible with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Numpy.
Normalization algorithms currently implemented:

- Macenko [\[1\]](#reference) (ported from [numpy implementation](https://github.com/schaugf/HEnorm_python))
- Reinhard [\[2\]](#reference)
- Modified Reinhard [\[3\]](#reference)

## Installation

```bash
pip install torchstain
```

To install a specific backend use either ```torchstain[torch]``` or ```torchstain[tf]```. The numpy backend is included by default in both.

## Example Usage

```python
import torch
from torchvision import transforms
import torchstain
import cv2

target = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread("./data/target.png"), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
to_transform = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread("./data/source.png"), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

T = transforms.Compose([
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Lambda(lambda x: x*255)
])

normalizer = torchstain.normalizers.MacenkoNormalizer(backend='torch')
normalizer.fit(T(target))

t_to_transform = T(to_transform)
norm, H, E = normalizer.normalize(I=t_to_transform, stains=True)
```
