  • Computerized device and method for processing image data
    Patent number: 10687711
    Abstract: A computerized device for processing image data is proposed. The computerized device comprises a receiving unit a receiving unit which is configured to receive optical coherence tomography data of a tissue of a patient, in particular of a retina, a providing unit which is configured to provide a prediction model for processing the optical coherence tomography data, and a processing unit which is configured to process the received optical coherence tomography data using the prediction model for providing at least one prediction parameter for predicting prospective objects of the tissue and/or prospective features allocated to the tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020
    Inventors: Wolf-Dieter Vogl, Thomas Schlegl, Georg Langs, Ursula Schmidt-Erfurth, Sebastian Waldstein, Bianca Gerendas
  • Computerized device and method for processing image data
    Patent number: 10679344
    Abstract: A computerized device for processing image data is proposed. The computerized device comprises a receiving unit which is configured to receive optical coherence tomography data of a of a tissue, in particular of a retina, a providing unit which is configured to provide a convolutional neural network for processing the optical coherence tomography data, and a processing unit which is configured to process the received optical coherence tomography data using the convolutional neural network for identifying at least one certain object in the tissue.

  • COMPUTERIZED DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA
    Publication number: 20180047159
    Abstract: A computerized device (100) for processing image data (OCT, RID) is proposed. The computerized device (100) comprises a receiving unit (110) which is configured to receive optical coherence tomography data (OCT) of a of a tissue, in particular of a retina, a providing unit (120) which is configured to provide a convolutional neural network (CNN) for processing the optical coherence tomography data (OCT), and a processing unit (130) which is configured to process the received optical coherence tomography data (OCT) using the convolutional neural network (CNN) for identifying at least one certain object (IRC, SRF) in the tissue.
