In the cancer diagnosis pipeline, digital pathology plays an instrumental role in the identification, staging, and grading of malignant areas on biopsy tissue specimens. High resolution histology images are subject to high variance in appearance, sourcing either from the acquisition devices or the H&E staining process. Nuclei segmentation is an important task, as it detects the nuclei cells over background tissue and gives rise to the topology, size, and count of nuclei which are determinant factors for cancer detection. Yet, it is a fairly time consuming task for pathologists, with reportedly high subjectivity. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) tools empowered by modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) models enable the automation of nuclei segmentation. This can reduce the subjectivity in analysis and reading time. This paper provides an extensive review, beginning from earlier works use traditional image processing techniques and reaching up to modern approaches following the Deep Learning (DL) paradigm. Our review also focuses on the weak supervision aspect of the problem, motivated by the fact that annotated data is scarce. At the end, the advantages of different models and types of supervision are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, we try to extrapolate and envision how future research lines will potentially be, so as to minimize the need for labeled data while maintaining high performance. Future methods should emphasize efficient and explainable models with a transparent underlying process so that physicians can trust their output.

In compressed sensing, the measurement is usually contaminated by additive noise, and hence the information of the noise variance is often required to design algorithms. In this paper, we propose an estimation method for the unknown noise variance in compressed sensing problems. The proposed method called asymptotic residual matching (ARM) estimates the noise variance from a single measurement vector on the basis of the asymptotic result for the $ell_{1}$ optimization problem. Specifically, we derive the asymptotic residual corresponding to the $ell_{1}$ optimization and show that it depends on the noise variance. The proposed ARM approach obtains the estimate by comparing the asymptotic residual with the actual one, which can be obtained by the empirical reconstruction without the information of the noise variance. Simulation results show that the proposed noise variance estimation outperforms a conventional method based on the analysis of the ridge regularized least squares. We also show that, by using the proposed method, we can achieve good reconstruction performance in compressed sensing even when the noise variance is unknown.
