Publication number: 20220351377Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for provided for automated selection of UWFA images. A first set of images representing an early phase of a UWFA image acquisition and a second set of images representing a late phase of the UWFA image acquisition are received and segmented to provide a vascular structure map for each of the first set of images and the second set of images. An image quality metric is assigned to each of the first set of images and the second set of images from the vascular structure map associated with each image.
