Multi-Label Classification of Fundus Images With EfficientNet

Abstract

Convolutional neural network (CNN) has achieved remarkable success in the field of fundus images due to its powerful feature learning ability. Computer-aided diagnosis can obtain information with reference value for doctors in clinical diagnosis or screening through proper processing and analysis of fundus images. However, most of the previous studies have focused on the detection of a certain fundus disease, and the simultaneous diagnosis of multiple fundus diseases still faces great challenges. We propose a multi-label classification ensemble model of fundus images based on CNN to directly detect one or more fundus diseases in the retinal fundus images. Every single model consists of two parts. The first part is a feature extraction network based on EfficientNet, and the second part is a custom classification neural network for multi-label classification problems. Finally, the output probabilities of different models are fused as the final recognition result. And it was trained and tested on the data set provided by ODIR 2019 (Peking University International Competition on Ocular Disease Intelligent Recognition). The experimental results show that our model can be trained on fewer data sets and get good results.
