Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical image processing technology, and in particular to a method and system for extracting fundus image features based on morphological perception state propagation. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Accurate diagnosis of fundus diseases heavily relies on pathological morphological clues in medical imaging. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and OCTA (Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography) provide high-dimensional representations of the retinal microstructure and vascular network, respectively. However, existing single-modal feature extraction methods suffer from insufficient scale adaptability and lack of morphological priors. Fundus lesions exhibit significant scale variations, and standard convolutional neural networks with fixed receptive fields struggle to capture both local details and global context: shallow networks easily lose macroscopic patterns, while deep networks annihilate sub-pixel lesions due to downsampling. Strategies such as dilated convolution are incompatible with the non-uniform topology of blood vessels, easily introducing artifacts. Clinical diagnosis relies on quantifiable morphological indicators, but existing models implicitly compress morphological information into a high-dimensional feature space, lacking explicit mapping to clinical parameters. Semantic breaks exist when fusing handcrafted morphological features with deep features, and morphological indicators are not converted into dynamic regulatory signals embedded in the feature evolution process, leading to a disconnect between model decision-making logic and clinical cognition.

It represents the characteristics of the middle layer structure, encodes the morphology of the middle layer of the retina (such as the outer plexiform layer boundary and microaneurysm clusters), and balances local details with regional context. It represents high-level semantic features and characterizes the overall topology of lesions (such as CNV neovascular network skeleton and Drusen spatial distribution pattern), providing a stable semantic basis for morphological feature extraction; Represents a two-dimensional convolution operation; For the convolution kernel tensor, ; For bias vectors, ; The dimension corresponds to the hierarchical features; For layer normalization function, This is to correct the linear unit.

During the state propagation process, morphological guidance weights are introduced as dynamic control signals to inject into the state evolution process, and then the spatial features are reorganized through cross-fusion operations. The morphological sensing feature enhancement module is used to enhance spatial features through a morphological sensing learnable nonlinear transformation to obtain morphological sensing features. The fundus image feature generation module is used to perform residual fusion of morphological perception features and high-level semantic features to obtain high-level fused features, and then sample these features and perform residual fusion with mid-level structural features to obtain mid-level fused features; after sampling the mid-level fused features, perform residual fusion with shallow texture features to obtain shallow fused features; and finally, the fundus image features are obtained by weighted fusion of the high-level fused features, mid-level fused features, and shallow fused features.
