MULTI-SCALE REGULARIZED DEEP NETWORK FOR RETINAL VESSEL SEGMENTATION
We propose a novel domain enriched deep network that consists of two components: 1) a representation network which learns geometric (specifically curvilinear) features that are tailored to retinal images, followed by 2) a task network that utilizes the features obtained from the representation layer to perform pixel-level segmentation.
