Abstract:

Deep neural networks, combined with high quality annotated medical data and low-cost GPU devices, have been successfully implemented in the field of ophthalmology. Impressive grounding outcomes have occurred in both in-hospital and out-hospital scenarios. Some of the published results demonstrated AI could achieve better diagnosis performance than general practice in the diagnosis of certain retinal diseases. In this article, we will discuss how classification, detection, segmentation and domain adaptation play their roles in AI ophthalmology. We will also discuss the limitations of the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) algorithms, hoping to provide prevision for future research in this field.

Key words: Deep neural networks, Retinal disease diagnosis, Artificial intelligence, Computer vision
