Abstract

U-Net is adequate for various biomedical image segmentation tasks. Using this in the Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) images would be better for segmenting only the affected region. The variant of U-Net uses residual connections. A residual link is a type of connection that allows the network to learn the residual mapping between the input and output rather than the complete mapping. This technique can help the network learn more efficiently and avoid the vanishing gradients problem. This research aims to develop a method for segmenting the retinal pigment epithelium, the Bruch’s membrane, and the Inner Limiting Membranes (ILM) in OCT scans of individuals in good health and with intermediate AMD.
