1. A method comprising:

  • dividing images of tissue of cancer patients into tiles;

    separating the tiles into clusters, wherein each of the clusters has tiles with similar colors;

    identifying a matching cluster whose tiles have colors that most closely match the colors of a target image of tissue of a target patient;

    segmenting the tiles of the matching cluster into objects;

    classifying the objects into classes;

    assigning a color to each object class;

    generating pixelwise descriptors that associate an object class with each pixel of the tiles of the matching cluster based on colors of other pixels at predetermined offsets from the classified pixel; and

    generating a pixel heat map by applying the pixelwise descriptors to each pixel of the target image without segmenting the target image into objects, wherein each pixel of the target image has the color assigned to the object class associated with that pixel.
