Systematic Review of Retinal Blood Vessels Segmentation Based on AI-driven Technique

Image segmentation is a crucial task in computer vision and image processing, with numerous segmentation algorithms being found in the literature. It has important applications in scene understanding, medical image analysis, robotic perception, video surveillance, augmented reality, image compression, among others. In light of this, the widespread popularity of deep learning (DL) and machine learning has inspired the creation of fresh methods for segmenting images using DL and ML models respectively. We offer a thorough analysis of this recent literature, encompassing the range of ground-breaking initiatives in semantic and instance segmentation, including convolutional pixel-labeling networks, encoder-decoder architectures, multi-scale and pyramid-based methods, recurrent networks, visual attention models, and generative models in adversarial settings. We study the connections, benefits, and importance of various DL- and ML-based segmentation models; look at the most popular datasets; and evaluate results in this Literature.
