Deskripsi

Hereby we present a methodology with the objective of detecting retinal fluid accumulations in between the retinal layers. The methodology uses a robust Densely Connected Neural Network to classify thousands of subsamples, extracted from a given Optical Coherence Tomography image. Posteriorly, using the detected regions, it satisfactorily generates a coherent and intuitive confidence map by means of a voting strategy.
