Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER THICKNESS FROM COLOR FUNDUS IMAGE FOR GLAUCOMA TEST ON BASIS OF DEEP LEARNING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/027494
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining a retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from a color fundus image for a glaucoma test on the basis of deep learning. The method for determining a retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from a color fundus image for a glaucoma test on the basis of deep learning, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: (a) acquiring a color fundus image for a user; (b) segmenting the color fundus image into a plurality of sub-regions; and (c) calculating a retinal nerve fiber layer thickness corresponding to each of the plurality of sub-regions by applying each of the segmented plurality of sub-regions to a thickness estimation deep learning model.
