The optic cup is a physiological structure in the fundus and is a small central depression in the eye. It has a normal proportion in the optic papilla. If the ratio is large, its size may be used to determine diseases such as glaucoma or congenital myopia. The occurrence of glaucoma is generally accompanied by physical changes to the optic cup, optic disc, and optic nerve fiber layer. Therefore, accurate measurement of the optic cup is important for the detection of glaucoma. The accurate segmentation of the optic cup is essential for the measurement of the size of the optic cup relative to other structures in the eye. This paper proposes a new network architecture we call Segmentation-ResNet Seg-ResNet that takes a residual network structure as the main body, introduces a channel weighting structure that automatically adjusts the dependence of the feature channels, re-calibrates the feature channels, and introduces a set of low-level features that are combined with high-level features to improve network performance. Pre-fusion features and fused features are symmetrical. Hence, this work correlates with the concept of symmetry. Combined with the training strategy of migration learning, the segmentation accuracy is improved while speeding up network convergence. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated by testing data from the GlaucomaRepo and Drishti-GS fundus image databases.

Self-Consistent Graph Neural Networks for Semi-Supervised Node Classification

Yanbei Liu, Shichuan Zhao, Xiao Wang, Lei Geng, Zhitao Xiao, Jerry Chun-Wei Lin

Summary: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), based on deep learning, have attracted research interest. Many GNNs have achieved state-of-the-art accuracy but lack supervision information for unlabeled data. To address this, we propose SCGNN which extracts self-supervision information from unlabeled nodes and utilizes label information from labeled nodes. Experimental results show that SCGNN outperforms baselines, improving accuracy by an average of 2.08% and by 5.8% on the Disease dataset.
