Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common ocular disease in diabetic patients. In DR analysis, doctors first need to select excellent-quality images of ultra wide optical coherence tomography imaging (UW-OCTA). Only high-quality images can be used for lesion segmentation and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) detection. In practical applications, UW-OCTA has a small number of images with poor quality, so the dataset constructed from UW-OCTA faces the problem of class-imbalance. In this work, we employ data enhancement strategy and develop a loss function to alleviate class-imbalance. Specifically, we apply Fourier Transformation to the poor quality data with limited numbers, thus expanding this category data. We also utilize characteristics of class-imbalance to improve the cross-entropy loss by weighting. This method is evaluated on DRAC2022 dataset, we achieved Quaratic Weight Kappa of 0.7647 and AUC of 0.8458, respectively.
