For decades, advances in retinal imaging technology have enabled effective diagnosis and management of retinal disease using fundus cameras. Recently, ultra-wide-field (UWF) fundus imaging by Optos camera is gradually put into use because of its broader insights on fundus for some lesions that are not typically seen in traditional fundus images. Research on traditional fundus images is an active topic but studies on UWF fundus images are few. One of the most important reasons is that UWF fundus images are hard to obtain. In this paper, for the first time, we explore domain adaptation from the traditional fundus to UWF fundus images. We propose a flexible framework to bridge the domain gap between two domains and co-train a UWF fundus diagnosis model by pseudo-labelling and adversarial learning. We design a regularisation technique to regulate the domain adaptation. Also, we apply MixUp to overcome the over-fitting issue from incorrect generated pseudo-labels. Our experimental results on either single or both domains demonstrate that the proposed method can well adapt and transfer the knowledge from traditional fundus images to UWF fundus images and improve the performance of retinal disease recognition.
