As shown in fig. 1, to address the deficiencies of the prior art, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide an automatic retina layer segmentation method and apparatus with CSC lesion, which effectively automatically segments the retina layer with CSC lesion based on graph theory and interlayer coupling information.
According to an aspect of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for automatic segmentation of retinal layers with CSC lesions.
A method of automatically segmenting retinal layers with CSC lesions, the method comprising:
receiving a sample group of a normal retina image, and calculating the thickness mean value and the standard deviation of each layer of the normal retina image in the sample group as prior information;
receiving an SD-OCT image to be segmented, constructing a weight function for a first SD-OCT image in each group of image data based on prior information and gradient information, and segmenting the image;
and calculating the mean value and the standard deviation of the thickness of the retina of the segmented SD-OCT image as coupling information, and reconstructing a weight function based on the coupling information and the gradient information to segment the next SD-OCT image until the segmentation of all SD-OCT images is completed.
Fig. 2 shows a detailed flowchart of an automatic retinal layer segmentation method with CSC lesions. The method firstly learns 10 groups of normal retina average thickness and standard deviation data (1280 images in total) and guides the segmentation of a first SD-OCT image (B-scan) of each group of data by taking the data as prior information. The mean retinal thickness and variance of the B-scan that each set of data has segmented is then analyzed to guide the segmentation of the next B-scan.
The first step is as follows: and building a hardware platform and configuring an operating environment. A computer was configured and Matlab was installed.
And secondly, counting and calculating the thickness mean value and standard deviation of each layer of 10 groups of normal retina images (1280 OCT images in total, hereinafter referred to as B-scan), and using the information as prior information to guide the segmentation of the first B-scan of each group of data.
As shown in fig. 3, which is the boundary of each of the nine retinal layers to be segmented in the present embodiment.
The third step: and (5) image preprocessing. And the improved bilateral filtering algorithm is used for inhibiting the speckle noise of the OCT image. The method comprises the steps of preprocessing an original image, wherein in the preprocessing, a bilateral filtering algorithm is adopted to suppress speckle noise in the image. As shown in fig. 4, the effect of image noise suppression is schematically shown.
The original image is preprocessed, the first B-scan of each group of data is segmented by adopting statistical information and gradient information, and each subsequent B-scan is segmented by adopting coupling information and gradient information, wherein the segmentation sequence is ILM, IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex/BMEIS, OB _ RPE, IB _ OPR, OPL-HFL, RNFL-GCL, INL-OPL, IPL-INL and GCL-IPL, and finally the segmentation result is obtained.
The fourth step: for the first B-scan, the weights between nodes in the graph are calculated using statistical prior information and gradient information to construct a weight function to guide the segmentation of the first B-scan for each set of data.
The fifth step: the thicknesses and standard deviations (coupling information) of the retinas of the layers of the segmented B-scan in the group are calculated and used as prior information to guide the segmentation of the next B-scan. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the retinal layer thickness. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of coupling information.
The weight function is constructed using the coupling information and the gradient information of the image. The weighting values between nodes in the graph are calculated using this weighting function.
And a sixth step: ILM, IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex/BMEIS, OB _ RPE and IB _ OPR are divided. As shown in fig. 6, the boundaries are segmented based on gradient information.
The boundary has a large image gradient, so that only gradient information is used to calculate the weight in the segmentation of the boundary,
wherein the Dijkstra algorithm is used to search for "dark-light" boundaries on the image. The boundary searched for in normal retinal images is ILM or BMEIS, and the boundary searched for in images with CSC lesions is ILM or IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex, which can distinguish the two boundaries according to the location characteristics.
For the BMEIS or IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex that has been obtained, a narrow band can be obtained with this as the upper boundary and a downward shift of 9.77 μm as the lower boundary, and then another "dark-light" boundary, i.e., IB _ OPR, is extracted using dijkstra's algorithm.
And finally searching the boundary of 'light-dark' on the whole image by using Dijkstra algorithm to obtain OB _ RPE.
Fig. 7(a) is a retina image with CSC lesions, and fig. 7(B) is a normal retina image. The boundary has a large image gradient, so that only gradient information is used to calculate the weight in the boundary segmentation. The "dark-light" boundaries are searched on the image using dijkstra's algorithm. The boundary searched for in normal retinal images is ILM or BMEIS, and the boundary searched for in images with CSC lesions is ILM or IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex, which can distinguish the two boundaries according to the location characteristics. For the BMEIS or IB-OPR _ BMEIS Complex that has been obtained, a narrow band can be obtained with this as the upper boundary and a downward shift of 9.77 μm as the lower boundary, and then another "dark-light" boundary, i.e., IB _ OPR, is extracted using dijkstra's algorithm. And finally searching the boundary of 'light-dark' on the whole image by using Dijkstra algorithm to obtain OB _ RPE.
The seventh step: segmentation based on the coupling information and the gradient information. As shown in FIG. 8, the gradient information is not significant for the OPL-HFL, RNFL-GCL, INL-OPL, IPL-INL and GCL-IPL, so in the above-described segmentation of the boundary, we use the coupled thickness information to constrain the position of the retinal boundary.
First a coupling information item is added to the weight function value. Then we construct a narrow band according to the boundary obtained by the current B-scan or the boundary obtained by the previous frame B-scan. The method specifically comprises the following steps: pending boundary (B)i) Upper one boundary (B)i-1) Moving down by one half the average thickness, the boundary to be determined (B)i) Next one boundary (B)i+1) The average thickness was shifted up by one-half and the upper and lower boundaries for the different boundaries are shown in table 1 to obtain a narrow band.
Then, Dijkstra algorithm is used to extract the 'bright-dark' or 'dark-bright' boundary, and finally, the segmentation result can be obtained. The Dijkstra algorithm is then used to extract the "light-dark" or "dark-light" boundaries, as in FIG. 8(B), and the segmentation results are finally obtained.
