Automated Detection of Myopic Maculopathy in MMAC 2023: Achievements in Classification, Segmentation, and Spherical Equivalent Prediction

원문 초록

Myopic macular degeneration is the most common complication of myopia and the primary cause of vision loss in individuals with pathological myopia. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial in preventing vision impairment due to myopic maculopathy. This was the focus of the Myopic Maculopathy Analysis Challenge (MMAC), in which we participated. In task 1, classification of myopic maculopathy, we employed the contrastive learning framework, specifically SimCLR, to enhance classification accuracy by effectively capturing enriched features from unlabeled data. This approach not only improved the intrinsic understanding of the data but also elevated the performance of our classification model. For Task 2 (segmentation of myopic maculopathy plus lesions), we have developed independent segmentation models tailored for different lesion segmentation tasks and implemented a test-time augmentation strategy to further enhance the model's performance. As for Task 3 (prediction of spherical equivalent), we have designed a deep regression model based on the data distribution of the dataset and employed an integration strategy to enhance the model's prediction accuracy. The results we obtained are promising and have allowed us to position ourselves in the Top 6 of the classification task, the Top 2 of the segmentation task, and the Top 1 of the prediction task.
