Abstract

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a disease affecting premature infants and may lead to childhood blindness. Due to lack of trained ophthalmologists, developing a fully automated ROP diagnostic system can significantly benefit the infants affected by ROP. Based on manually segmented features, previous work produces severity scores for ROP with excellent prediction accuracy. However, when automated segmentation employed, a significant accuracy drop is observed. In this paper, we show that U-Net segmentation, which is automated, comes at no accuracy loss.
