Abstract

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to irreversible vision loss. Most of the existing automatic screening methods first segment the main structure and subsequently calculate the clinical measurement for the detection and screening of glaucoma. However, these measurement-based methods rely heavily on the segmentation accuracy and ignore various visual features. In this paper, we introduce a deep learning technique to gain additional image-relevant information and screen glaucoma from the fundus image directly. Specifically, a novel disc-aware ensemble network for automatic glaucoma screening is proposed, which integrates the deep hierarchical context of the global fundus image and the local optic disc region. Four deep streams on different levels and modules are, respectively, considered as global image stream, segmentation-guided network, local disc region stream, and disc polar transformation stream. Finally, the output probabilities of different streams are fused as the final screening result. The experiments on two glaucoma data sets (SCES and new SINDI data sets) show that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
