Region and Spatial Aware Anomaly Detection for Fundus Images
Recently anomaly detection has drawn much attention in diagnosing ocular diseases. Most existing anomaly detection research in fundus images has relatively large anomaly scores in the salient retinal structures, such as blood vessels, optical cups and discs. In this paper, we propose a Region and Spatial Aware Anomaly Detection (ReSAD) method for fundus images, which obtains local region and long-range spatial information to reduce the false positives in the normal structure. ReSAD transfers a pre-trained model to extract the features of normal fundus images and applies the Region-and-Spatial-Aware feature Combination module (ReSC) for pixel-level features to build a memory bank. In the testing phase, ReSAD uses the memory bank to determine out-of-distribution samples as abnormalities. Our method significantly outperforms the existing anomaly detection methods for fundus images on two publicly benchmark datasets.
