Fundus vessel analysis is a significant tool for evaluating the development of retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and hypertension in clinical practice. Hence, automatic fundus vessel segmentation is essential and valuable for medical diagnosis in ophthalmopathy and will allow identification and extraction of relevant symmetric and asymmetric patterns. Further, due to the uniqueness of fundus vessel, it can be applied in the field of biometric identification. In this paper, we remold fundus vessel segmentation as a task of pixel-wise classification task, and propose a novel coarse-to-fine fully convolutional neural network (CF-FCN) to extract vessels from fundus images. Our CF-FCN is aimed at making full use of the original data information and making up for the coarse output of the neural network by harnessing the space relationship between pixels in fundus images. Accompanying with necessary pre-processing and post-processing operations, the efficacy and efficiency of our CF-FCN is corroborated through our experiments on DRIVE, STARE, HRF and CHASE DB1 datasets. It achieves sensitivity of 0.7941, specificity of 0.9870, accuracy of 0.9634 and Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) of 0.9787 on DRIVE datasets, which surpasses the state-of-the-art approaches.

Neural networks in image processing are becoming a more crucial and integral part of machine learning as computational technology and hardware systems are advanced. Deep learning is also getting attention from the medical sector as it is a prominent process for classifying diseases.  There is a lot of research to predict retinal diseases using deep learning algorithms like Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Still, there are not many researches for predicting diseases like CNV which stands for choroidal neovascularization, DME, which stands for Diabetic Macular Edema; and DRUSEN. In our research paper, the CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) algorithm labeled the dataset of OCT retinal images into four types: CNV, DME, DRUSEN, and Natural Retina. We have also done several preprocessing on the images before passing these to the neural network. We have implemented different models for our algorithm where individual models have different hidden layers.  At the end of our following research, we have found that our algorithm CNN generates 93% accuracy.

Image deconvolution has been an important issue recently. It has two kinds of approaches: non-blind and blind. Non-blind deconvolution is a classic problem of image deblurring, which assumes that the PSF is known and does not change universally in space. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used for non-blind deconvolution. Though CNNs can deal with complex changes for unknown images, some CNN-based conventional methods can only handle small PSFs and does not consider the use of large PSFs in the real world. In this paper we propose a non-blind deconvolution framework based on a CNN that can remove large scale ringing in a deblurred image. Our method has three key points. The first is that our network architecture is able to preserve both large and small features in the image. The second is that the training dataset is created to preserve the details. The third is that we extend the images to minimize the effects of large ringing on the image borders. In our experiments, we used three kinds of large PSFs and were able to observe high-precision results from our method both quantitatively and qualitatively.
