The invention discloses an eye
fundus image retina thickness prediction method and
system based on a depth
estimation network. According to the
retina thickness prediction method, a final
retina thickness map is predicted by
processing an eye
fundus image through a constructed retina thickness prediction model. The retina thickness prediction model is designed based on a U-Net structure, a residual structure, a
convolution block attention module and a
blood vessel guiding attention mechanism are introduced into an
encoder for
feature extraction, and
blood vessel mask information is fully utilized; meanwhile, a
blood vessel segmentation network, a global thickness prediction
branch and a blood vessel residual error correction
branch are arranged in a decoder, wherein the global thickness prediction
branch and the blood vessel residual error correction branch are parallel; the blood
vessel segmentation network is used for carrying out
information extraction on the eye
fundus image and embedding the extracted information into a blood vessel residual error correction branch; the global thickness prediction branch is responsible for generating a basic global thickness map, and the blood vessel residual correction branch is used for locally correcting the global thickness map to obtain the final predicted retina thickness.
