AGE Challenge: Angle Closure Glaucoma Evaluation in Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

This is the summary publication of the AGE challenge on angle closure glaucoma detection from OCT scans of the anterior segment.

Automated Quantification of Photoreceptor alteration in macular disease using Optical Coherence Tomography and Deep Learning

We introduced a fully automated approach to segment the photorceptor layer, evaluate its thickness and track potential disruptions using an ensemble of deep neural networks.

Reducing image variability across OCT devices with unsupervised unpaired learning for improved segmentation of retina

We applied CycleGANs to reduce the covariate shift of models trained on one OCT vendor and evaluated on a different one. And it works quite well!

On Orthogonal Projections for Dimension Reduction and Applications in Augmented Target Loss Functions for Learning Problems

Anna introduced a new mathematical approach for dimensionality reduction that we incorporated into loss functions to augment target information and improve performance.

REFUGE challenge: A unified framework for evaluating automated methods for glaucoma assessment from fundus photographs

This is the summary publication of the REFUGE challenge on glaucoma detection in color fundus photographs.

Improving realism in patient-specific abdominal ultrasound simulation using CycleGANs

We applied CycleGANs to improve realism in ultrasound simulation based on ray-casting methods.

Exploiting Epistemic Uncertainty of Anatomy Segmentation for Anomaly Detection in Retinal OCT

We used epistemic uncertainty estimates to discover potential abnormalities in diseased OCT scans. The uncertainty maps are obtained by a Bayesian U-Net trained on healthy OCT scans with weak labels of the retinal layers.

An ensemble deep learning based approach for red lesion detection in fundus images

We introduced a hybrid red lesion detection model based on a combination of deep learning based features and hand crafted descriptors.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy characterization based on fractal features: Evaluation on a publicly available dataset

We develop a fractal based model for detecting proliferative diabetic retinopathy cases from fundus pictures.

A Discriminatively Trained Fully Connected Conditional Random Field Model for Blood Vessel Segmentation in Fundus Images

We present an extensive description and evaluation of our method for blood vessel segmentation in fundus images based on a discriminatively trained fully connected conditional random field model.
