Abstract The analysis of the choroid in the eye is crucial for our understanding of a range of ocular diseases and physiological processes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging provides the ability to capture highly detailed cross-sectional images of the choroid yet only a very limited number of commercial OCT instruments provide methods for automatic segmentation of choroidal tissue. Manual annotation of the choroidal boundaries is often performed but this is impractical due to the lengthy time taken to analyse large volumes of images. Therefore, there is a pressing need for reliable and accurate methods to automatically segment choroidal tissue boundaries in OCT images. In this work, a variety of patch-based and fully-convolutional deep learning methods are proposed to accurately determine the location of the choroidal boundaries of interest. The effect of network architecture, patch-size and contrast enhancement methods was tested to better understand the optimal architecture and approach to maximize performance. The results are compared with manual boundary segmentation used as a ground-truth, as well as with a standard image analysis technique. Results of total retinal layer segmentation are also presented for comparison purposes. The findings presented here demonstrate the benefit of deep learning methods for segmentation of the chorio-retinal boundary analysis in OCT images.

In the field of ophthalmology, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proven to be a powerful imaging technique when it comes to diagnosing various eye-related diseases. This research article introduces a real-time automatic retinal layer segmentation algorithm based on intensity variation in the OCT images. The built algorithm is capable of detecting internal retinal layers like the internal limiting membrane (ILM), the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) with micrometer level precision, the algorithm uses openMP for parallelized computation for real-time visualization of the segmented retinal layers. The total execution time of the algorithm was evaluated using various image sizes and compared with the OCT frame rate to demonstrate the efficiency of real-time segmentation.

The smart teaching mode overcomes the shortcomings of traditional teaching online and offline, but there are certain deficiencies in the real-time feature extraction of teachers and students. In view of this, this study uses the particle swarm image recognition and deep learning technology to process the intelligent classroom video teaching image and extracts the classroom task features in real time and sends them to the teacher. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the premature convergence of the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm, an improved strategy for multiple particle swarm optimization algorithms is proposed. In order to improve the premature problem in the search performance algorithm of PSO algorithm, this paper combines the algorithm with the useful attributes of other algorithms to improve the particle diversity in the algorithm, enhance the global search ability of the particle, and achieve effective feature extraction. The research indicates that the method proposed in this paper has certain practical effects and can provide theoretical reference for subsequent related research.
