Review QC overlays

For Researchers reviewing image alignment after a completed sample
Hands-on steps Open overview, annotated zoom, composite, summary, and audit
Prerequisites At least one completed real-inference sample
Download/storage No download; images and PDF already exist in the result
Writes to Nothing unless report is rerun

Open the generated images

For each completed sample, the current worker writes:

File Review
overlays/overview_with_zoom_box.png Whole-slide orientation and the selected zoom box
overlays/zoom_overlay_celltypes.png High-resolution cell annotations
overlays/celltypes_overview_and_zoom.png Combined overview and annotated zoom
overlays/celltypes_overview_and_zoom.pdf Vector/text-friendly version of the combined figure

The repository output name is celltypes_overview_and_zoom.png—not a guessed singular or alternate overlay name.

Compare the images with summary/summary.json. Confirm the slide ID, source MPP, target MPP, processed percentage, random seed, and zoom coordinates. Then check aggregated_celltypes/sample_aggregation_audit.csv for inclusion.

Visual review should consider tissue orientation, focus/stain artifacts, tissue selection, registration, cell-mark alignment, implausible dense/sparse regions, and whether the displayed zoom is representative. It does not turn model predictions into pathologist ground truth.

Expected output is a self-contained START_HERE.html with relative links only to files that exist.

Stop and clean up

Image review does not modify results. Press Ctrl+C if report generation is interrupted and rerun. Do not delete overlays while retaining derived tables for a reproducible analysis.

Next: learn counts versus fractions.
