Automatic segmentation of retinal layers in OCT images with intermediate age-related macular degeneration using U-Net and DexiNed.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that can cause visual impairment and affects the elderly over 50 years of age. AMD is characterized by the presence of drusen, which causes changes in the physiological structure of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the boundaries of th...
