چکیده

Retinal vessel information is helpful in retinal disease screening and diagnosis. Retinal vessel segmentation provides useful information about vessels and can be used by physicians during intraocular surgery and retinal diagnostic operations. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are powerful tools for classification and segmentation of medical images. Complexity of CNNs makes it difficult to implement them in portable devices such as binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes. In this paper a simplification approach is proposed for CNNs based on combination of quantization and pruning. Fully connected layers are quantized and convolutional layers are pruned to have a simple and efficient network structure. Experiments on images of the STARE dataset show that our simplified network is able to segment retinal vessels with acceptable accuracy and low complexity.

A multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images

The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...

Deeply supervised neural network with short connections for retinal vessel segmentation

The condition of vessel of the human eye is a fundamental factor for the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases. Vessel segmentation in fundus image is a challenging task due to low contrast, the presence of microaneurysms and hemorrhages. In this paper, we present a multiscale and multi-level deeply supervised convolutional neural network with short connections for vessel segmentation. We use ...

Extracting Vessel Centerlines From Retinal Images Using Topographical Properties and Directional Filters

In this paper we consider the problem of blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. After enhancing the retinal image we use green channel of images for segmentation as it provides better discrimination between vessels and background. We consider the negative of retinal green channel image as a topographical surface and extract ridge points on this surface. The points with this property are l...
