Summary

Schlegl et al. [25]

f-AnoGAN (Wasserstein GAN + latent space mapping)

Retinal OCT

Intra-retinal fluid detection (OCT anomaly detection)

The GAN based unsupervised learning of healthy training data was trained with fast mapping from images to encodings in the latent space. Anomalies were detected via a combined anomaly score based on an image reconstruction error

Xie et al. [26]

Conditional GAN (with attention encoder and multi-branch structure)

Ultra-widefield fundus photography (scanning laser ophthalmoscopy)

Features for retinal diseases

The GAN based on the attention encoder and multi-branch structure was used to extract features for retinal disease detection. The discriminator in GAN was modified to build the classifier to detect the disease images

  1. GAN = generative adversarial network; OCT = optical coherence tomography
