Segmentation and multiparametric evaluation of corneal whorl-like nerves for in vivo confocal microscopy images in dry eye disease
The proposed method segments both whorl-like and straight corneal nerves in IVCM images with high accuracy and offered parameters to objectively quantify DED-induced corneal nerve injury. The IW is an effective region to detect alterations of multiple geometric indices in DED patients.
