A weak edge estimation based multi-task neural network for OCT segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) offers high-resolution images of the eye's fundus. This enables thorough analysis of retinal health by doctors, providing a solid basis for diagnosis and treatment. With the development of deep learning, deep learning-based methods are becoming more popular for fundus OCT image segmentation. Yet, these methods still encounter two primary challenges. Firstly, deep learning methods are sensitive to weak edges. Secondly, the high cost of annotating medical image data results in a lack of labeled data, leading to overfitting during model training. To tackle these challenges, we introduce the Multi-Task Attention Mechanism Network with Pruning (MTAMNP), consisting of a segmentation branch and a boundary regression branch. The boundary regression branch utilize
