Extended U-net for Retinal Vessel Segmentation

Abstract: The retinal vascular tree is an important biomarker for the diagnosis of ocular dis-ease, where an efficient segmentation is highly required. Recently, various standard Convolutional Neural Networks CNN dedicated for segmentation are applied for retinal vessel segmentation. In fact, retinal blood vessels are presented in different retinal image resolutions with a complicated morphology. Thus, it is difficult for the standard configuration of CNN to guarantee an optimal feature extraction and efficient segmenta… Show more

“…This significant enhancement is attributed to the integration of multi-scale convolutional kernel sizes into the U-Net model. Additionally, we can conclude that the proposed method's sensitivity rate outperforms DL-based methods such as [8], [9], [10], [3], [1], [5] and [11] exhibiting a notable difference of approximately 14%. Consequently, the proposed network demonstrates a robust capability to detect vessel pixels.…”

“…Additionally, works like [1] and [4] suggest switching standard convolution layers within U-Net blocks with dilated convolution layers parameterized by a 3x3 kernel dilated by a factor of 2 and depthwise convolution modules. Even, several have updated the convolution kernel size respect to vessel representation in fundus images, such as the work described in [5].…”
