摘要

This study presents an integrated approach for retinal vessel segmentation and classification of arteries and veins using the ResU-Net architecture combined with a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Module. The ResU-Net framework effectively captures both local and global features through multi-scale convolutional filters, allowing for the precise segmentation of vascular structures. By employing various convolutional kernels, the model identifies vessel details at multiple scales, ensuring accurate delineation of arteries and veins. The Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Module enhances this capability by optimizing local features and integrating outputs from different convolutional layers, facilitating a comprehensive representation of vessel characteristics. The Snippeting Features process further refines the output by prioritizing relevant details for improved classification accuracy. This robust framework demonstrates the efficacy of combining feature extraction, fusion, and classification techniques in medical imaging, leading to enhanced segmentation and identification of retinal vascular structures.The proposed model demonstrates exceptional performance across multiple datasets, achieving classification accuracies of 96.37–99.69% on the LES Retina dataset, with segmentation accuracy peaking at 0.9874. For the TREND dataset, accuracy values range from 0.9686 to 0.9986, while recall scores consistently reach near-perfect values, indicating the model’s reliability in both segmentation and classification tasks.
