AutoMorph: Automated Retinal Vascular Morphology Quantification via a Deep Learning Pipeline

[paper][code][poster]

Brief

AutoMorph includes four modules, the retinal image preprocessing, image quality grading, anatomical segmentation (vessel, artery/vein, optic disc/cup), and clinically-relevant feature measurement. AutoMorph can be applied for data curation, segmentation task, and clinical correlation research, such as ’oculomics'. AutoMorph has been externally validated on public datasets and now deployed in large-scale clinical research with UK BioBank and AlzEye.
