Description

Choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model and training method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of image segmentation, in particular to a choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model and a training method thereof.
Background
The choroid, which is located between the retina and sclera, is one of the most vascularized structures of the human body, provides nutrients to the outer retina and plays a critical role in the human visual system. In clinical practice, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can separate the choroidal structures from the interior of the retina, which is an effective method for a wide range of applications in neurology, ophthalmology, gastrointestinal and cardiac diseases. To analyze ocular diseases based on OCT, researchers have proposed quantitative choroidal biomarkers such as Choroidal Thickness (CT), Choroidal Volume (CV), Choroidal Vascular Density (CVD), Choroidal Vascular Index (CVI). Although these biomarkers quantitatively reflect the structure of the choroid, they do not work well for accurate segmentation of the choroid layer and blood vessels.
During the past decade, a number of approaches to choroidal structure segmentation based on OCT B-Scan (B-Scan) have emerged. These methods can be largely classified into graph-based methods and learning-based methods. The former generally extends the approach for retinal surface detection to the choroid, proposing new criteria to construct a graphical model and search for the choroidal surface. This method is too dependent on experimental assumptions and takes a long time, limiting its clinical application. The latter uses Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) as a boundary feature detector or semantic classifier to perform choroid layer segmentation. Because DCNN has strong generalization ability, the methods can automatically extract the distinguishing features of the choroid layer, and the segmentation performance is improved to a great extent. However, most of the present DCNN focuses only on the division of the choroid layer. There was less research on the boundary of the choroidal sublayer and choroidal vessels.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments described herein may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
As described in the background, there is an increasing need for quantitative choroidal analysis by clinicians, and the diagnosis and study of choroidal or chorioretinal diseases is increasingly dependent on OCT image analysis. In most cases, the measurement can be performed only manually, which is time-consuming, labor-consuming and not suitable for large-scale application and research. However, the choroidal results are measured manually in clinic, so that the choroidal results have high subjectivity, and the standard deviation exists among different doctors, so that the quantitative comparison of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases is not facilitated. Meanwhile, the accuracy of choroidal segmentation results is more demanding on the experience of the doctor, and also brings challenges to clinical analysis of the choroid. In addition, most of the analysis software of the existing OCT manufacturers in the market has no automatic division function of choroid boundaries and blood vessels, and individual manufacturers only have automatic division of the upper and lower choroid boundaries, and the accuracy is low.
Also, by analyzing the prior art, choroidal sub-layer boundaries and choroidal vessel segmentation are a more challenging task than choroidal layer segmentation, since the vessels are densely distributed between the choroid. Although these vessels are relatively irregular in shape, it can be observed that the distribution of choroidal vessels is highly correlated with the location of the choroidal sublayer. All choroidal vessels are located between Bruch's Membrane (BM) and the choroid-scleral Interface (CSI), which means that the result of choroidal sublayer segmentation can be a prerequisite for choroidal vessel segmentation. Furthermore, large choroidal vessels are located in the lower-middle part of the choroidal sublayer, while almost all choroidal microvessels (small choroidal vessels) are located near the BM, the upper boundary of the choroidal sublayer. This property also contributes to improving the rationality of the vessel segmentation result.
Considering the correlation between the choroidal vessels and the choroidal sublayer, a single DCNN structure that can jointly segment both can be used to aid choroidal analysis. However, when they are jointly split, antagonism also exists. The purpose of the choroidal sublayer segmentation is to obscure the internal structure of the choroid, making it easily separable from the retina layer and background. While choroidal vessel segmentation tends to preserve its internal structure to better identify choroidal vessels and choroidal stroma.
Compared with a single-task learning strategy, namely two different learning modes are strictly trained aiming at different tasks, the embodiment of the invention provides a choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model, the segmentation network model adopts a segmentation production line of OCT B-Scan choroid analysis, and the production line can automatically segment the choroid sublayer and the choroid blood vessels, namely, a complete CNN is trained to complete all tasks.
In the present embodiment, a choroidal sublayer and choroidal blood vessel segmentation network model is provided, which may be implemented in an electronic device, and fig. 1 is a block diagram of a choroidal sublayer and choroidal blood vessel segmentation network model according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the segmentation network model comprising: the shared encoder module is used for carrying out down-sampling and feature extraction on an image to be segmented to obtain a first shared feature of choroidal sublayer segmentation and choroidal blood vessel segmentation, and the resolution of the first shared feature is lower than a threshold value; a shared decoder module, configured to obtain the first shared feature for upsampling, so as to obtain a second shared feature of the choroid sublayer segmentation and the choroid blood vessel segmentation, where a resolution of the second shared feature is higher than a threshold; a first decoder module to extract a choroidal sublayer segmentation specific feature in the second shared features; a second decoder module for extracting choroidal vessel segmentation specific features in the second shared features; and the classification module is used for calculating a segmentation result of the image to be segmented according to the second shared feature, the choroid sublayer segmentation specific feature and the choroid blood vessel segmentation specific feature.
According to the choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model provided by the embodiment of the invention, the shared decoder module and the shared decoder module are arranged, so that the extraction of the shared characteristics of choroid sublayer segmentation and choroid blood vessel segmentation can be realized; meanwhile, the first decoder module and the second decoder module are arranged to respectively extract the specific features of the choroid sublayer segmentation and the choroid blood vessel segmentation in the shared features, and finally the classification module is arranged to realize the pixel classification of the choroid sublayer and the choroid blood vessel based on the shared features and the specific features. Therefore, the segmentation network model realizes the segmentation of the choroid sublayer and the choroid vessels by the shared decoder module, the first decoder module, the second decoder module and the classification module, namely, realizes the multi-task segmentation by a multi-stream network structure.
In order to achieve accurate positioning and improve efficiency, the shared encoder module, the shared decoder module, the first decoder module and the second decoder module can all adopt a U-shaped structure, namely, Network structures such as U-Net, AttU-Net (Attention U-shaped Network structure), R2U-Net (recursive Residual Convolutional Neural Network) and the like can be adopted. Specifically, the common shared encoder module, the shared decoder module, the first decoder module, and the second decoder module are all convolution structures. The shared encoder module is used for extracting the discriminative features of the image based on the input image, in the process, the resolution of the image is reduced to 1/4, namely the resolution of the first shared feature extracted by the shared encoder is lower, and the shared decoder module is used for restoring the spatial resolution, and mapping the discriminative features of the higher layer into the spatial pixels of each position, namely the resolution of the second shared feature extracted by the shared decoder is higher. Meanwhile, the first decoder module and the second decoder module are also used for restoring the spatial resolution and mapping the high-level discriminating characteristic to the spatial pixel of each position.
In one embodiment, the shared encoder module comprises: the shared decoder comprises a preset number of sub-decoding modules, and the sub-coding modules are connected with the sub-decoding modules with the same corresponding spatial resolution. Wherein the sub-encoding module comprises: a convolution layer, an activation function layer and a space pooling layer; the sub-decoding module includes: an upsampling layer, a convolutional layer, and an activation function layer. Specifically, when the sub-coding modules and the sub-decoding modules are connected, jump connection between symmetrical layers is adopted, namely, the output characteristic of the first sub-coding module and the input characteristic of the last sub-decoding module are connected in characteristic dimension, so that fusion of two parts of characteristics is realized through convolution layers in the two modules.
The positioning can be enhanced by a hopping connection between the shared encoder module and the shared decoder module. The method can ensure that semantic features (which are beneficial to identifying whether the pixels are blood vessels) provided by the shared decoder module can be fused with low-level detail features (which are beneficial to identifying whether the pixels are boundaries) provided by the shared encoder module, so that a segmentation result with better edge fitting degree is obtained.
The shared encoder module and the shared decoder module may include five sub-encoding modules or five sub-decoding modules, respectively. In the sub-coding module, a conventional U-Net structure may be employed, i.e. a total of two convolutional layers. And the activation function layer may employ a ReLU activation function. In the sub-decoding module, the up-sampling layer adopts a bilinear interpolation mode to perform up-sampling operation, and further characteristic refinement is performed through the convolution layer after interpolation. Meanwhile, the activation function layer in the sub-decoding module may also adopt a ReLU activation function.
In an embodiment, the first decoder module and/or the second decoder module has a preset number of decoding modules, and the decoding modules include: the decoding module comprises an up-sampling layer, a convolution layer and an activation function layer, wherein the convolution layer in the decoding module is a single-layer convolution layer. Compared with a two-layer convolutional layer structure in a conventional U-Net structure, the first decoder module and the second decoder module only adopt one convolutional layer for decoding, which is equivalent to reducing nearly half of time and space complexity. Thereby, a lightweight decoder structure is achieved.
In one embodiment, the classification module comprises: a connection layer and a classification layer, wherein the connection layer is used for performing feature connection on the second shared features and the choroidal sublayer segmentation specific features and the choroidal vessel segmentation specific features respectively to obtain a first feature map and a second feature map; and the classification layer is used for classifying according to the first characteristic diagram and the second characteristic diagram to obtain a segmentation result of the image to be segmented. In particular, the connection layer in the classification module is configured to connect the second shared feature and the choroidal sublayer segmentation specific feature to obtain a first feature map, and to connect the second shared feature and the choroidal vessel segmentation specific feature to obtain a second feature map. The classification layer adopts a full-connection layer to realize classification operation, namely the full-connection layer acquires a first feature map and a second feature map after connection to perform classification operation, and maps the C-dimensional feature map into 1 dimension, so that the output feature represents the probability that the position is a choroidal blood vessel or a choroidal sublayer.
In an embodiment, to avoid the bias of the segmented network model towards a simple task, namely choroidal sublayer segmentation, a multitask loss function with a new regularization term is employed in the segmented network model, which can adaptively balance the two tasks during training. Wherein, the multitask loss function with the regularization term is expressed by the following formula:

wherein, P1Representing a choroidal vascular probability map, P2Representing the choroidal sublayer probability map, Y1Representing the actual choroidal vessel mask map, Y2A diagram of the actual choroidal sublayer mask is shown,

and expressing a cross entropy loss function, wherein phi is a regularization constraint term, and lambda is a preset parameter.
Specifically, the cross entropy loss function and the regularization constraint term are specifically expressed by the following formulas:

and
Figure BDA0003477645520000096
respectively represent

And
Figure BDA0003477645520000098
thereby bringing phi into
Figure BDA0003477645520000099
In (1), the following formula can be obtained:
Figure BDA0003477645520000101
therefore, it can be seen from the above formula that
Figure BDA0003477645520000102
Is greater than
Figure BDA0003477645520000103
In case (i.e. when the task of choroidal sublayer segmentation fits better), the loss function will be more inclined to the task of choroidal vessel segmentation and vice versa. Thus, the effect of dynamically balancing two tasks is achieved.
The choroid sublayer and choroidal vessel segmentation network models provided by embodiments of the present invention are effective (with accuracy greater than 0.980) in choroidal thickness boundaries and vessel-dependent choroidal analysis, and the performance of the more difficult task, i.e., choroidal vessel segmentation, can be significantly improved by a multitask learning strategy in the segmentation network model. Because the first decoder module and the second decoder module adopt a lightweight decoder structure, the characteristics specific to the task can be captured according to the shared characteristics, the method is simpler and more targeted, and the model scale is reduced by nearly 25%.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a training method of the choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model, which comprises the following steps: acquiring a training sample set; inputting the training sample set into the choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model described in the above embodiment for training, and obtaining a pre-trained choroid sublayer and choroid blood vessel segmentation network model.

During training, end-to-end training can be adopted, so that training time is saved.
