Researchers have developed UPolarSQ, a novel framework for segmenting and quantifying optic disc (OD) and peripapillary atrophy (PPA) in fundus photographs, particularly for myopia-induced changes. This system utilizes a polar representation to map OD-centered regions, allowing for more accurate modeling of irregular PPA boundaries. UPolarSQ employs a U-Net-based segmentation network with a specialized module to capture anisotropic polar features and radial transitions, enabling deterministic extraction of clinical biomarkers like disc shape and PPA width.
