Abstract
The precise alignment of retina images from different modalities allows ophthalmologists not only to track morphological/pathological changes over time but also to combine different modalities to approach the diagnosis, prognostication, management and monitoring of a retinal disease. We propose an image registration algorithm to trace changes in the retina structure across modalities using vessel segmentation and automatic landmark detection. The segmentation of the vessels is done using a U-Net and the detection of the vessel junctions is achieved with Mask R-CNN. We evaluated the results of our approach using manual grading by expert readers. In the largest dataset (FA-to-SLO/OCT) containing 1130 pairs we achieve an average error rate of 13.12%. We compared our method with intensity based affine registration methods using original and vessel segmentation images.
