摘要:

针对眼科医生诊断眼底图像工作耗时且易出错的问题,提出一种无监督的眼底图像硬性渗出物检测方法。首先,通过形态学的背景估计方法去除血管、暗病变区域和视盘;然后,以图像亮度通道为初始图像,利用硬性渗出物在眼底图像中的局部性和稀疏性,结合局部熵和鲁棒主成分分析方法分解得到低秩矩阵和稀疏矩阵;最后,归一化稀疏矩阵得到硬性渗出物区域。实验结果显示,在e-ophtha EX和DIARETDB1公开数据库上,所提方法在病灶水平上灵敏性为91.13%和特异性为90%,在图像水平上准确率为99.03%,平均运行时间0.5 s;与支持向量机(SVM)和K-means方法相比灵敏性高且耗时少。

Abstract:

To solve the time-consuming and error-prone problem in the diagnosis of fundus images by the ophthalmologists, an unsupervised automatic detection method for hard exudates in fundus images was proposed. Firstly, the blood vessels, dark lesion regions and optic disc were removed by using morphological background estimation in preprocessing phase. Then, with the image luminosity channel taken as the initial image, the low rank matrix and sparse matrix were obtained by combining local entropy and Robust Principal Components Analysis (RPCA) based on the locality and sparsity of hard exudates in fundus images. Finally, the hard exudates regions were obtained by the normalized sparse matrix. The performance of the proposed method was tested on the fundus images databases e-ophtha EX and DIARETDB1. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve 91.13% of sensitivity and 90% of specificity in the lesional level and 99.03% of accuracy in the image level and 0.5 s of average running time. It can be seen that the proposed method has higher sensitivity and shorter running time compared with Support Vector Machine (SVM) method and K-means method.

Key words: hard exudate, Robust Principal Components Analysis (RPCA), local entropy, background estimation, color fundus image
