Problems solved by technology

However, eye fretting noise in the form of bright short lines along the fast scan direction still appears on many clinical datasets
Therefore, the extraction and quantification of vessel-related features will be affected by this noise, which further brings inaccuracy to the analysis and diagnosis of ocular diseases.
[0006] Unlike isotropic and randomly distributed noise such as pepper noise and speckle noise, eye movement noise is highly directional and thus may not be suitable for conventional denoising methods such as Kalman filtering

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical image processing, and in particular relates to a method for removing OCT and OCTA image noise, which is used for eyeball micro-movement noise in en face images of OCT and OCTA. The method includes: step S1, extracting a frequency domain image; step S2, removing stripe information in the frequency domain image to obtain a denoised frequency domain image; step S3, reconstructing a denoised image based on the denoised frequency domain image. The eyeball fretting noise is a bright short line in the horizontal direction in the en face image, and the horizontal fretting artifact can be extracted from the image in the 2D transform domain. In the above technical solution of the present invention, firstly, the facial OCTA image is converted or decomposed to obtain a frequency-domain image, then the frequency-domain image is denoised by a filter, and finally a noise-removed angiographic image is reconstructed based on the denoised frequency-domain image.

Description

[0001] A Method of Image Noise Removal About OCT and OCTA technical field [0002] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical image processing, and in particular relates to a method for removing OCT and OCTA image noise, which is used for eyeball micro-movement noise in en face images of OCT and OCTA. Background technique [0003] Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive angiographic imaging technique that has been widely used in the research and diagnosis of diseases in the fundus region in recent years. However, OCTA requires longer acquisition durations than photography-based modalities such as slit lamps and fundus cameras. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that the human eye is in a state of micro-motion when observing the scene, and there are three modes of micro-motion: high-frequency tremor, drifting motion and flicker. Therefore, the micro-movement of the eyeball during the acquisition process has become the main source o...
