摘要

针对视网膜血管在分割过程容易出现细节特征信息丢失、血管轮廓模糊等问题，提出一种改进的循环分割对抗网络算法。该算法改进了分割器的网络模型，在U型网络上、下采样过程中添加了密集连接结构，充分保留了图像的特征信息，提升了模型的泛化能力以及鲁棒性，缓解了过度分割现象。为防止网络退化，将损失函数替换为最小二乘函数，提高了图像的分割质量，提升了网络模型训练的稳定性。实验结果表明，本文的网络模型在DRIVE以及CHASE数据集中，两者分割的准确性、敏感性分别达到了96.93%、84.30%以及96.94%、79.92%。该算法具有较好的网络泛化能力以及分割准确率，可以为疾病诊断提供重要的依据。

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of loss of detailed feature information and blurred contours of blood vessels in the segmentation process of retinal vessels

an improved cycle segmentation confrontation network algorithm is proposed. The algorithm improves the network model of the segmenter

adds dense connection structure in the up and down sampling processes of the U-Net network

fully retains the image feature information

which improves the generalization ability and robustness of the model

and alleviates the over segmentation phenomenon. In order to prevent network degradation

the loss function is replaced by the least square function

which improves the quality of image segmentation and the stability of network model training. The experimental results show that the segmentation accuracy and sensitivity of the network are 96.93%

84.30% and 96.94%

79.92% in the DRIVE and CHASE datasets respectively. The algorithm has good network generalization ability and segmentation accuracy

which can provide an important basis for disease diagnosis.
