Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Computer Vision
Artificial Intelligence

Background:

Pathological myopia is a significant cause of vision loss in individuals under 50.
Current manual detection methods are time-consuming and require specialized expertise, hindering widespread screening efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an efficient and accurate automated method for pathological myopia detection.
To introduce SMLS-YOLO, a lightweight instance segmentation model optimized for large-scale screening.

Main Methods:

SMLS-YOLO, based on YOLOv8n-seg, utilizes StarNet as its backbone for feature extraction.
Enhanced feature extraction modules (C2f-Star) and optimized segmentation heads with shared convolutions and scale reduction were implemented.
The Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) mechanism was incorporated to refine feature extraction.

Main Results:

SMLS-YOLO reduced model parameters by 46.9% compared to the baseline YOLOv8n-seg.
The model achieved a 2.4% increase in Box mAP@0.5 and a 4% increase in Mask mAP@0.5.
SMLS-YOLO demonstrated superior performance against other advanced segmentation algorithms.

Conclusions:

SMLS-YOLO offers a lightweight and effective solution for pathological myopia image segmentation.
The proposed method shows significant potential for improving the efficiency and accuracy of pathological myopia screening.
