• Abstract: Automatic segmentation of retina vessels plays a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis of prevalent eye diseases, such as, Diabetic Retinopathy or Age-related Macular Degeneration. Due to the complex construction of blood vessels, with drastically varying thicknesses, accurate vessel segmentation can be quite a challenging task. In this work we show that it is possible to achieve near state-of-the-art performance, by crafting a careful thought pre-processing pipeline, without having to resort to complex networks and/or training routines. We also show that our model is able to maintain the same high segmentation performance across different datasets, very poor quality fundus images, as well as images of severe pathological cases.

• Deep Angiogram: Trivializing Retinal Vessel Segmentation [1.8479315677380455]
  We propose a contrastive variational auto-encoder that can filter out irrelevant features and synthesize a latent image, named deep angiogram. The generalizability of the synthetic network is improved by the contrastive loss that makes the model less sensitive to variations of image contrast and noisy features.

  Vessel segmentation is crucial in many medical image applications, such as detecting coronary stenoses, retinal vessel diseases and brain aneurysms. We present a novel approach, the affinity feature strengthening network (AFN), which jointly models geometry and refines pixel-wise segmentation features using a contrast-insensitive, multiscale affinity approach.

• Assessing glaucoma in retinal fundus photographs using Deep Feature Consistent Variational Autoencoders [63.391402501241195]
  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely used procedure for the treatment of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) This may lead to increased procedural time and incomplete ablation, resulting in persistent TTTS. Computer-assisted intervention may help overcome these challenges by expanding the fetoscopic field of view through video mosaicking and providing better visualization of the vessel network. We present a large-scale multi-centre dataset for the development of generalized and robust semantic segmentation and video mosaicking algorithms for the fetal environment with a focus on creating drift-free mosaics from long duration fetoscopy videos.

• Robust Retinal Vessel Segmentation from a Data Augmentation Perspective [14.768009562830004]
  We propose two new data augmentation modules, namely, channel-wise random Gamma correction and channel-wise random vessel augmentation. With the additional training samples generated by applying these two modules sequentially, a model could learn more invariant and discriminating features. Experimental results on both real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method can improve the performance and robustness of a classic convolutional neural network architecture.

• Retinopathy of Prematurity Stage Diagnosis Using Object Segmentation and Convolutional Neural Networks [68.96150598294072]
  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
