Abstract
The quality of fundus images is critical for diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. The evaluation of fundus image quality can be affected by several factors, including image artifact, clarity, and field definition. In this paper, we propose a multi-task deep learning framework for automated assessment of fundus image quality. The network can classify whether an image is gradable, together with interpretable information about quality factors. The proposed method uses images in both rectangular and polar coordinates, and fine-tunes the network from trained model grading of diabetic retinopathy. The detection of optic disk and fovea assists learning the field definition task through coarse-to-fine feature encoding. The experimental results demonstrate that our framework outperform single-task convolutional neural networks and reject ungradable images in automated diabetic retinopathy diagnostic systems.
