Embodiment Construction

[0058] The invention proposes a U-shaped retinal image segmentation that adapts to the morphological structure and scale information of the target image based on the U-shaped network structure fusion of dense deformable convolution, pyramid-shaped hole convolution and deconvolution layer with attention mechanism Algorithm; this model can capture the shape features of blood vessels more efficiently and with higher precision, which can simplify the cumbersome process of manual extraction of retinal blood vessels by ophthalmologists, and convert it from qualitative analysis to quantitative analysis, avoiding the existence of different ophthalmologists due to subjective factors. The error can provide help for clinical ophthalmologists in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

[0059] Explanation of the experiment: The data in this example come from the 03_test retinal images of healthy people in the DRIVE database.

[0060] The present invention will be further described below ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for segmenting U-shaped retinal blood vessels with adaptive scale information, comprising two steps: preprocessing of retinal blood vessel images and building a retinal blood vessel segmentation model. The invention can effectively solve the problems of easy connection of adjacent blood vessels, too wide microvessels, easy breakage of small blood vessels, insufficient segmentation of blood vessel intersections, oversensitivity to image noise, intersection of target and background gray values, wrong segmentation of optic disc and lesion, and the like. The present invention fuses multiple network models with relatively low complexity, and achieves excellent segmentation results on the DRIVE dataset, with an accuracy rate and sensitivity of 97.48% and 85.78% respectively. The ROC curve value reaches 98.72%, which has reached the level of practical medical application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a U-shaped densely connected retinal blood vessel segmentation method adaptive to target scale information, which better solves the problem that the existing algorithm is not robust to blood vessel scale, attitude and texture edge information, and helps to solve the algorithm There are problems such as insufficient segmentation of microvessels, too wide segmentation of microvessels, segmentation and breakage at the intersection of blood vessels, breakage of blood vessels in lesions, and wrong segmentation of lesions and optic discs into blood vessels. Background technique [0002] Blood vessels are one of the most important components of the retina, and retinal vessel segmentation and division of vascular morphological attributes, such as length, width, tortuosity, and angle, can be used in the diagnosis, screening, treatment, and evaluation of various cardiovascular and ophthalmic diseases. In recent years, the deep learning m...
