Microscopic retinal blood vessels detection and segmentation using support vector machine and K-nearest neighbors.

Microscopy research and technique
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 ...

Self-relabeling for noise-tolerant retina vessel segmentation through label reliability estimation.

BMC medical imaging
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...

Unified Focal loss: Generalising Dice and cross entropy-based losses to handle class imbalanced medical image segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Automatic segmentation methods are an important advancement in medical image analysis. Machine learning techniques, and deep neural networks in particular, are the state-of-the-art for most medical image segmentation tasks. Issues with class imbalanc...

Multi-Label Classification Scheme Based on Local Regression for Retinal Vessel Segmentation.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
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...

RFARN: Retinal vessel segmentation based on reverse fusion attention residual network.

PloS one
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...

Deep Learning Image Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Measured Vessel Density Improves Classification of Healthy and Glaucoma Eyes.

American journal of ophthalmology
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 (OCT) angiolytics: a review of OCT angiography quantitative biomarkers.

Survey of ophthalmology
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 via hierarchical feature learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Gated Skip-Connection Network with Adaptive Upsampling for Retinal Vessel Segmentation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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)...

Imaging and artificial intelligence for progression of age-related macular degeneration.

Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of severe vision loss. With our aging population, it may affect 288 million people globally by the year 2040. AMD progresses from an early and intermediate dry form to an advanced one, which m...
