The retina is the deepest layer of texture covering the rear of the eye, recorded by fundus images. Vessel detection and segmentation are useful in disease diagnosis. The retina's blood vessels could help diagnose maladies such as glaucoma, diabetic ...
BACKGROUND: Retinal vessel segmentation benefits significantly from deep learning. Its performance relies on sufficient training images with accurate ground-truth segmentation, which are usually manually annotated in the form of binary pixel-wise lab...

Segmenting small retinal vessels with width less than 2 pixels in fundus images is a challenging task. In this paper, in order to effectively segment the vessels, especially the narrow parts, we propose a local regression scheme to enhance the narrow...
Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels is critical to the mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment of many ocular pathologies. Due to the poor contrast and inhomogeneous background of fundus imaging and the complex structure of retinal fundus images, th...
PURPOSE: To compare convolutional neural network (CNN) analysis of en face vessel density images to gradient boosting classifier (GBC) analysis of instrument-provided, feature-based optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) vessel density measu...
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides a non-invasive method to obtain angiography of the chorioretinal vasculature leading to its recent widespread adoption. With a growing number of studies exploring the use of OCTA, various bioma...
Fundus Image Segmentation (FIS) is an essential procedure for the automated diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases. Recently, deep fully convolutional networks have been widely used for FIS with state-of-the-art performance. The representative deep model i...
Segmentation of retinal vessels is a critical step for the diagnosis of some fundus diseases. To further enhance the performance of vessel segmentation, we propose a method based on a gated skip-connection network with adaptive upsampling (GSAU-Net)...
