ABSTRACT: Automated glaucoma detection using deep learning may increase the diagnostic rate of glaucoma to prevent blindness, but generalizable models are currently unavailable despite the use of huge training datasets. This study aims to evaluate the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier trained with a limited number of high-quality fundus images in detecting glaucoma and methods to improve its performance across different datasets. A CNN classifier was constructed using EfficientNet B3 and 944 images collected from one medical center (core model) and externally validated using three datasets. The performance of the core model was compared with (1) the integrated model constructed by using all training images from the four datasets and (2) the dataset-specific model built by fine-tuning the core model with training images from the external datasets. The diagnostic accuracy of the core model was 95.62% but dropped to ranges of 52.5-80.0% on the external datasets. Dataset-specific models exhibited superior diagnostic performance on the external datasets compared to other models, with a diagnostic accuracy of 87.50-92.5%. The findings suggest that dataset-specific tuning of the core CNN classifier effectively improves its applicability across different datasets when increasing training images fails to achieve generalization.

Project description:Crop-type identification is one of the most significant applications of agricultural remote sensing, and it is important for yield estimation prediction and field management. At present, crop identification using datasets from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite platforms have achieved state-of-the-art performances. However, accurate monitoring of small plants, such as the coffee flower, cannot be achieved using datasets from these platforms. With the development of time-lapse image acquisition technology based on ground-based remote sensing, a large number of small-scale plantation datasets with high spatial-temporal resolution are being generated, which can provide great opportunities for small target monitoring of a specific region. The main contribution of this paper is to combine the binarization algorithm based on OTSU and the convolutional neural network (CNN) model to improve coffee flower identification accuracy using the time-lapse images (i.e., digital images). A certain number of positive and negative samples are selected from the original digital images for the network model training. Then, the pretrained network model is initialized using the VGGNet and trained using the constructed training datasets. Based on the well-trained CNN model, the coffee flower is initially extracted, and its boundary information can be further optimized by using the extracted coffee flower result of the binarization algorithm. Based on the digital images with different depression angles and illumination conditions, the performance of the proposed method is investigated by comparison of the performances of support vector machine (SVM) and CNN model. Hence, the experimental results show that the proposed method has the ability to improve coffee flower classification accuracy. The results of the image with a 52.5° angle of depression under soft lighting conditions are the highest, and the corresponding Dice (F1) and intersection over union (IoU) have reached 0.80 and 0.67, respectively.
