Embodiment

[0030] The present invention proposes a semi-supervised retinal OCT image layer (also called retinal OCT image semantics) segmentation algorithm through confrontational learning. A typical GAN ​​consists of two sub-networks, the generator and the discriminator, which play against each other during training. In the present invention, a segmentation network and a discriminator network are introduced, both of which are fully convolutional networks, and the accuracy of segmentation is improved by introducing unlabeled training pictures.

[0031] Such as Figure 1-4 Shown, the present invention comprises the steps:

[0032] 1. Retina OCT image data preparation

[0033] This method was used in the publicly available SD-OCT dataset of DME patients by Chiu et al. , 6(4):1172.) for evaluation. The dataset contains 10 patients, and each patient contains 61 SD-OCT images; of the 61 images per patient, 11 images were annotated by two expert clinicians as retinal layers and fluid regio...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the computer vision and image processing technology, and relates to a semi-supervised retina OCT image layer segmentation method combined with a generative adversarial network, which comprises the following steps: preparing retina OCT image data, taking labeled pictures of part of patients and unlabeled pictures of all patients as a training set, and taking labeled pictures of other patients as a test set; constructing a generative adversarial network, the generative adversarial network comprising a segmentation network and a discriminator network, and the output end of the segmentation network being connected with the input end of the discriminator network; designing a loss function of the generative adversarial network; setting evaluation indexes; and introducingthe prepared training set by using the designed loss function, and training the generative adversarial network. According to the method, the generative adversarial network is trained by utilizing thelabeled data and the unlabeled data at the same time, so that the robustness of the network is enhanced, and the semantic segmentation accuracy is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to artificial intelligence, computer vision, and image processing technology, in particular to a semi-supervised retinal OCT (Optical Coherence tomography) image layer segmentation method combined with a generated confrontation network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), such as Unet, have achieved remarkable results on the task of semantic segmentation of medical images. Although CNN-based methods achieve amazing results, they require a large amount of training data. Different from image classification and object detection, semantic segmentation requires precise pixel-by-pixel annotation of each training image, and medical images require professional doctors to annotate, which will cost a lot of cost and time, thus causing the retinal OCT image layer segmentation direction The training data is less. [0003] The high resolution of retinal OCT images facilitates c...
