摘要
许多视网膜重大疾病的症状往往表现为眼底病变。从视网膜眼底图像中提取血管对于协助医生至关重要。现有的一些方法不能完全提取视网膜图像的细节特征或丢失部分信息,因此难以准确分割位于图像边缘的毛细血管。本文提出了一种基于跳接信息增强的多尺度视网膜血管分割网络(SCIE_Net)。首先,该网络处理多个尺度的视网膜图像,实现对不同尺度特征的网络捕捉。其次,提出了特征聚合模块,以聚合浅层网络的丰富信息。此外,还提出了跳接信息增强模块,以兼顾浅层的细节特征和深层网络的高级特征,避免网络各层之间信息交互不完全的问题。最后,SCIE_Net 在公开的视网膜图像标准数据集 DRIVE、CHASE_DB1 和 STARE 上取得了更好的血管分割性能和结果。
Skip connection information enhancement network for retinal vessel segmentation.
Many major diseases of the retina often show symptoms of lesions in the fundus of the eye. The extraction of blood vessels from retinal fundus images is essential to assist doctors. Some of the existing methods do not fully extract the detailed features of retinal images or lose some information, making it difficult to accurately segment capillaries located at the edges of the images. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale retinal vessel segmentation network (SCIE_Net) based on skip connection information enhancement. Firstly, the network processes retinal images at multiple scales to achieve network capture of features at different scales. Secondly, the feature aggregation module is proposed to aggregate the rich information of the shallow network. Further, the skip connection information enhancement module is proposed to take into account the detailed features of the shallow layer and the advanced features of the deeper network to avoid the problem of incomplete information interaction between the layers of the network. Finally, SCIE_Net achieves better vessel segmentation performance and results on the publicly available retinal image standard datasets DRIVE, CHASE_DB1, and STARE.
