Segmenting retinal vascular net from retinopathy of prematurity images using convolutional neural network

Abstract:

In this paper, we describe the experimentation with a convolutional neural network for segmenting retinal net from pathological fundus images of preterm born children. Segmenting retinal net from pathological fundus images is a fundamental task to aid computer diagnosis. We used U-net architecture for training and testing. Testing with ROPFI dataset, we obtained an area under the receiver operating curve equal to 0.9180; when average sensitivity is equal to 0.700, the average specificity is equal to 0.9710. This performance is higher than prior works using a similar dataset.
