Abstract:
Objective:To automatically segment diabetic retinal exudation features from deep learning color fundus images.Methods:An applied study. The method of this study is based on the U-shaped network model of the Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset (IDRID) dataset, introduces deep residual convolution into the encoding and decoding stages, which can effectively extract seepage depth features, solve overfitting and feature interference problems, and improve the model's feature expression ability and lightweight performance. In addition, by introducing an improved context extraction module, the model can capture a wider range of feature information, enhance the perception ability of retinal lesions, and perform excellently in capturing small details and blurred edges. Finally, the introduction of convolutional triple attention mechanism allows the model to automatically learn feature weights, focus on important features, and extract useful information from multiple scales. Accuracy, recall, Dice coefficient, accuracy and sensitivity were used to evaluate the ability of the model to detect and segment the automatic retinal exudation features of diabetic patients in color fundus images.Results:After applying this method, the accuracy, recall, dice coefficient, accuracy and sensitivity of the improved model on the IDRID dataset reached 81.56%, 99.54%, 69.32%, 65.36% and 78.33%, respectively. Compared with the original model, the accuracy and Dice index of the improved model are increased by 2.35%, 3.35% respectively.Conclusion:The segmentation method based on U-shaped network can automatically detect and segment the retinal exudation features of fundus images of diabetic patients, which is of great significance for assisting doctors to diagnose diseases more accurately.
