Multi-class classification of pathological myopia based on fundus photography
Pathological myopia (PM) is a severe ocular disease leading to blindness. As a traditional noninvasive diagnostic method, fundus color photography (FCP) is widely used in detecting PM due to its high fidelity and precision. However, manual examination of fundus photographs for PM is time-consuming and prone to high error rates. Existing automated detection technologies have yet to study the detailed classification in diagnosing different stages of PM lesions. In this paper, we proposed an intelligent system which utilized Resnet101 technology to multi-categorically diagnose PM by classifying FCPs with different stages of lesions. The system subdivided different stages of PM into eight subcategories, aiming to enhance the precision and efficiency of the diagnostic process. It achieved an average accuracy rate of 98.86% in detection of PM, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 98.96%. For the eight subcategories of PM, the detection accuracy reached 99.63%, with an AUC of 99.98%. Compared with other widely used multi-class models such as VGG16, Vision Transformer (VIT), EfficientNet, this system demonstrates higher accuracy and AUC. This artificial intelligence system is designed to be easily integrated into existing clinical diagnostic tools, providing an efficient solution for large-scale PM screening.
