摘要:
The present disclosure generally relates to an automated method and system for generating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a skin structure of a subject. The method comprises: acquiring a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) cross-sectional images of the skin structure, specifically, using optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique; computing a cost for each 2D cross-sectional image based on a cost function, the cost function comprising an edge-based parameter and a non-edge-based parameter; constructing a 3D graph from the 2D cross-sectional images; and determining a minimum-cost closed set from the 3D graph based on the computed costs for the 2D cross-sectional images, wherein the 3D representation of the skin structure is generated from the minimum-cost closed set.

The present disclosure generally relates to automated method and system for vision assessment of a subject. The method comprises: determining a set of test patterns for the subject based on a preliminary assessment of an eye of the subject; displaying the set of test patterns sequentially to the subject; collecting data on the subject's gaze in response to each test pattern displayed to the subject; and assessing vision functionality of the subject based on the collected gaze data.

A numerical parameter indicative of the degree of match between two retina images is produced by comparing two graphs obtained from the respective images. Each graph is composed of edges and vertices. Each vertex is associated with a location the corresponding retina image, and with descriptor data describing a part of the corresponding retina image proximate the corresponding location.
摘要:
A method of assessing the quality of an retinal image (such as a fundus image) includes selecting at least one region of interest within a retinal image corresponding to a particular structure of the eye (e.g. the optic disc or the macula), and a quality score is calculated in respect of the, or each, region-of-interest. Each region of interest is typically one associated with pathology, as the optic disc and the macula are. Optionally, a quality score may be calculated also in respect of the eye as a whole (i.e. over the entire image, if the entire image corresponds to the retina).

A method is presented to obtain, from a retinal image, data characterizing the optic cup, such as data indicating the location and/or size of the optic cup in relation to the optic disc. A disc region of the retinal image of an eye, is expressed as a weighted sum of a plurality of pre-existing “reference” retinal images in a library, with the weights being chosen to minimize a cost function. The data characterizing the cup of the eye is obtained from cup data associated with the pre-existing disc images and the corresponding weights. The cost function includes (i) a construction error term indicating a difference between the disc region of the retinal image and a weighted sum of the reference retinal images, and (ii) a cost term, which may be generated using a weighted sum over the reference retinal images of a difference between the reference retinal images and the disc region of the retinal image.
摘要:
A method and system are proposed to obtain a reduced speckle noise image of a subject from optical coherence tomography (OCT) image data of the subject. The cross sectional images each comprise a plurality of scan lines obtained by measuring the time delay of light reflected, in a depth direction, from optical interfaces within the subject. The method comprises two aligning steps. First the cross sectional images are aligned, then image patches of the aligned cross sectional images are aligned to form a set of aligned patches. An image matrix is then formed from the aligned patches; and matrix completion is applied to the image matrix to obtain a reduced speckle noise image of the subject.
摘要:
A non-stereo fundus image is used to obtain a plurality of glaucoma indicators. Additionally, genome data for the subject is used to obtain genetic marker data relating to one or more genes and/or SNPs associated with glaucoma. The glaucoma indicators and genetic marker data are input into an adaptive model operative to generate an output indicative of a risk of glaucoma in the subject. In combination, the genetic indicators and genome data are more informative about the risk of glaucoma than either of the two in isolation. The adaptive model may be a two-stage model, having a first stage in which individual genetic indicators are combined with respective portions of the genome data by first adaptive model modules to form respective first outputs, and a second stage in which the first outputs are combined by a second adaptive mode. Texture analysis is performed on the fundus images to classify them based on their quality, and only images which are determined to meet a quality criterion are subjected to an analysis to determine if they exhibit glaucoma indicators. Also, the images are put into a standard format. The system may include estimating the position of the optic cup by combining results from multiple optic cup segmentation techniques. The system may include estimating the position of the optic disc by applying edge detection to the funds image, excluding edge points that are unlikely to be optic disc boundary points, and estimating the position of an optic disc by fitting an ellipse to the remaining edge points.

摘要:
A method is proposed for analysing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of the anterior segment (AS) of a subject's eye. A region of interest is defined which is a region of the image containing the junction of the cornea and iris, and an estimated position the junction within the region of interest is derived. Using this a second region of the image is obtained, which is a part of the image containing the estimated position of the junction. Features of the second region are obtained, and those features are input to an adaptive model to generate data characterizing the junction.
摘要:
An optical coherence tomography (OCT) image composed of a plurality of A-scans of a structure is analyzed by defining, for each A-scan, a set of neighboring A-scans surrounding the A-slices scan. Following an optional de-noising step, the neighboring A-scans are aligned in the imaging direction, then a matrix X is formed from the aligned A-scans, and matrix completion is performed to obtain a reduced speckle noise image.
