• Abstract: The automatic detection and localization of anatomical features in retinal imaging data are relevant for many aspects. In this work, we follow a data-centric approach to optimize classifier training for optic nerve head detection and localization in optical coherence tomography en face images of the retina. We examine the effect of domain knowledge driven spatial complexity reduction on the resulting optic nerve head segmentation and localization performance. We present a machine learning approach for segmenting optic nerve head in 2D en face projections of 3D widefield swept source optical coherence tomography scans that enables the automated assessment of large amounts of data. Evaluation on manually annotated 2D en face images of the retina demonstrates that training of a standard U-Net can yield improved optic nerve head segmentation and localization performance when the underlying pixel-level binary classification task is spatially relaxed through domain knowledge.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
