Researchers have explored the use of deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks, vision transformers, and foundation models, for analyzing ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal images. The study focused on three tasks: assessing UWF image quality, identifying referable diabetic retinopathy (RDR), and detecting diabetic macular edema (DME). By utilizing the UWF4DR Challenge dataset, the team benchmarked various architectures in both spatial and frequency domains, incorporating feature-level fusion for enhanced robustness and employing Grad-CAM for model explainability.
