New wavelet method improves fundus image segmentation across domains

Researchers have developed a novel wavelet-guided segmentation network called WaveSDG to address challenges in fundus image segmentation across different acquisition conditions. This method decouples anatomical structures from domain-specific appearances by decomposing images into wavelet sub-bands. A key component, the Wavelet-based Invariant Structure Extraction and Refinement (WISER) module, refines features to anchor global anatomy while enhancing edges and reducing noise. Evaluations on optic cup and disc segmentation demonstrated WaveSDG's superior performance and robustness compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new technique for improving the robustness of medical image segmentation models across different data sources.

    Decoupling Wavelet Sub-bands for Single Source Domain Generalization in Fundus Image Segmentation

    arXiv:2603.28463v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Domain generalization in fundus imaging is challenging due to variations in acquisition conditions across devices and clinical settings. The inability to adapt to these variations causes performance degradation on unseen domains…
