Abstract

The categorization of retinal diseases utilizing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images has garnered considerable interest in the domain of computational medical imaging. This research paper introduces a deep learning methodology for the automated classification of OCT images via a custom Convolution Neural Network (CNN) in conjunction with recognized transfer learning models. Deep learning methodologies are favored for their exceptional accuracy and performance; however, they frequently necessitate substantial computational resources and time for training. MobileNet, ResNet50, GoogleNet, and DenseNet are employed for feature extraction and comparison analysis. The models are trained and refined on an OCT dataset utilizing various hyperparameter settings, such as learning rate, epoch count, and optimizing techniques to get maximal accuracy. Upon concluding our study, the performance of these models is evaluated, and the optimal design is ascertained based on accuracy and additional assessment criteria. Our methodology illustrates the capability of deep learning in the automated classification of OCT images, providing enhanced diagnostic support for the identification of retinal diseases.
