Abstract

A boundary enhanced convolutional neural network for OCT image cornea layer segmentation is characterized in that a to-be-designed convolution module is integrated into a BiO-Net network in a module replacement mode to serve as coding and decoding convolution modules at the same time, so that the boundary enhanced convolutional neural network is constructed. According to the network, boundary convolution features and non-boundary convolution features are transmitted to convolution modules of different levels by means of forward and reverse jump links in BiO-Net, through learning and detection of the two convolution features, the detection sensitivity and effectiveness of an interested target and a boundary region thereof in an image are jointly improved, the segmentation error of the target boundary region is reduced, different cornea layers in the OCT image can be accurately extracted at the same time, and the segmentation performance of the boundary enhanced convolutional neural network is superior to that of existing networks such as U-Net and BiO-Net.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image segmentation, in particular to a boundary-enhanced convolutional neural network for corneal layer segmentation in OCT images. Background technique [0002] Image segmentation is an important image processing technology, which is used to accurately and clearly distinguish different regions of interest in the image, so that these regions have different imaging characteristics (such as gray scale distribution and tissue contrast), thus facilitating the quantitative analysis of regions of interest. With the help of this technology, the detection, location and measurement of morphological features of lesion areas in medical images can be performed, which can greatly reduce the image processing time of image analysts and improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of diseases, so it has very important research value. In order to accurately segment images, various types of segmentation algorithms have been ...
