초록

본 논문에서는 안저영상의 다중 스케일 정보를 다루기 위한 딥러닝 기반의 망막 혈관 분할 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 이미지 분할 딥러닝 모델인 U-Net과 선택적 커널 합성곱을 통합한합성곱 신경망으로 안저영상에서 눈과 관련된 질병을 진단하는데 중요한 정보가 되는 망막 혈관의 다양한 모양과 크기를 갖는 특징 정보를 추출하고 분할한다. 제안 모델은 일반적인 합성곱과선택적 커널 합성곱으로 구성된다. 일반적인 합성곱 층은 같은 크기 커널 크기를 통해 정보를 추출하는 반면, 선택적 커널 합성곱은 다양한 커널 크기를 갖는 브랜치들에서 정보를 추출하고 이를 분할 주의집중을 통해 적응적으로 조정하여 결합한다. 제안 모델의 성능 평가를 위해 안저영상 데이터인 DRIVE와 CHASE DB1 데이터셋을 사용하였으며 제안 모델은 두 데이터셋에 대하여F1 점수 기준 82.91%, 81.71%의 성능을 보여 망막 혈관 분할에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based retinal vessel segmentation model for handling multi-scale information of fundus images. we integrate the selective kernel convolution into U-Net-based convolutional neural network. The proposed model extracts and segment features information with various shapes and sizes of retinal blood vessels, which is important information for diagnosing eye-related diseases from fundus images. The proposed model consists of standard convolutions and selective kernel convolutions. While the standard convolutional layer extracts information through the same size kernel size, The selective kernel convolution extracts information from branches with various kernel sizes and combines them by adaptively adjusting them through split-attention. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we used the DRIVE and CHASE DB1 datasets and the proposed model showed F1 score of 82.91% and 81.71% on both datasets respectively, confirming that the proposed model is effective in segmenting retinal blood vessels.
