Abstract

PURPOSE: The cup-to-disc ratio (CDR), a clinical metric of the relative size of the optic cup to the optic disc, is a key indicator of glaucoma, a chronic eye disease leading to loss of vision. CDR can be measured from fundus images through the segmentation of optic disc and optic cup . Deep convolutional networks have been proposed to achieve biomedical image segmentation with less time and more accuracy, but requires large amounts of annotated training data on a target domain, which is often unavailable. Unsupervised domain adaptation framework alleviates this problem through leveraging off-the-shelf labeled data from its relevant source domains, which is realized by learning domain invariant features and improving the generalization capabilities of the segmentation model.
