Improving the Performance of Convolutional Neural Network for the Segmentation of Optic Disc in Fundus Images Using Attention Gates and Conditional Random Fields

The localization and segmentation of optic disc (OD) in fundus images is a crucial step in the pipeline for detecting the early onset of retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, etc. In this paper, we are proposing a novel convolutional neural network architect...
