Low Complexity Convolutional Neural Network for Vessel Segmentation in Portable Retinal Diagnostic Devices

Retinal vessel information is helpful in retinal disease screening and diagnosis. Retinal vessel segmentation provides useful information about vessels and can be used by physicians during intraocular surgery and retinal diagnostic operations. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are powerful tools for classification and segmentation of medical images. However, complexity of CNNs makes it difficult to implement them in portable devices such as …
