BigCell Generates Coherent Gigapixel Whole-Slide Pathology Images, Boosting Few-Shot Classification 18%

StonyBrook-CVLab · hf · 2026-10-15

Stony Brook's BigCell is the first method to generate coherent whole-slide histopathology images at native gigapixel resolution. It trains a flow-matching transformer at 2048×2048 on 120,000+ public WSIs, and with inference-time sliding-window synthesis produces images up to 32,768×32768, outperforming prior tile generators. An adaptive scheduling strategy speeds generation 3× with minimal quality loss, and a separate model enables the first 8k-resolution text-to-image from pathology reports. Augmenting with synthetic slides improves few-shot slide-level classification by up to 18%.
