Robust Calibration-Marker and Laser-Line Detection For Underwater 3D Shape Reconstruction By Deep Neural Network

infectious keratitis is a major cause of visual impairment and a common blinding eye disease. Deep learning based prior researches mainly regard infectious keratitis diagnosis as a classification task on the slit-lamp images of single-visit. However, in real clinical applications, it is critical to analyze the lesion evolution characteristics represented by time-varying features over multiple-visits. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we focus on the problem with sequential clinical images of patients, and propose a novel disentangled sequential autoencoder (DSLC-VAE) algorithm to separate the time-varying pathological features from the time-invariant ones for infectious keratitis diagnosis. Specifically, a inference model is exploited to generate time series of the shape and appearance of corneal lesions to represent keratitis progression, which are combined with location-related features to identify keratitis pathologies. Moreover, we construct a local consistent regularizer with a self-supervised task to enhance the consistency of the time-varying features across different infectious keratitis. Extensive experiments on real world dataset demonstrate superiority of our DSLC-VAE on both representation disentanglement and diagnosis accuracy.
