AI로 보는 것이 훨씬 더 좋습니다

인공 지능 (AI) 은 더 선명한 이미지를 생성하고 값비싼 검사 시간을 줄임으로써 눈 건강을 모니터링하는 방식을 혁신할 수 있습니다.캔터베리 대학교의 물리학 선임 연구원인 Sylwia Kolenderska 박사는 AI를 활용하여 광학 간섭 단층촬영 (OCT) 을 보다 쉽게 이용할 수 있도록 할 계획입니다.

OCT는 눈 건강 평가에 사용되는 빛 기반 영상 기법입니다.초음파와 비슷하지만 빛으로 눈의 3차원 내부 이미지를 생성합니다.그러나 고해상도 OCT 기계는 비용이 많이 들기 때문에 많은 연구자와 임상의가 사용할 수 없습니다.

Kolenderska 박사는 이러한 고가의 장비에서 데이터 처리에 문제가 있다는 사실을 알아차렸습니다.좋은 품질의 이미지를 생성하지만 이러한 이미지를 즉시 사용할 수 있는 것은 아닙니다.원시 신호로 이미지를 계산해야 하므로 프로세스 속도가 느려집니다.

콜렌더스카 박사는 낮은 품질의 이미지를 생성하는 더 저렴한 장비를 개선할 기회를 보았습니다.그녀는 OCT 이미지 계산을 위한 표준 알고리즘을 대체하기 위해 데이터를 분석하여 인간의 두뇌처럼 패턴을 학습하는 알고리즘인 신경망을 사용할 것을 제안했습니다.이렇게 하면 즉각적이고 더 선명한 이미지를 만들 수 있습니다.

Kolenderska 박사는 이렇게 설명했습니다. “우리는 해상도가 더 낮은 저렴한 기계를 사용하고 소프트웨어 업데이트와 마찬가지로 자체 기술을 적용하여 저해상도 데이터를 매우 비싼 OCT 기계에 필적하는 고해상도 이미지로 만들 수 있습니다.“미래에는 하드웨어로 만들어 USB 스틱처럼 OCT 머신에 연결할 수 있을 것입니다.”

AI는 서로 다른 데이터 집합 간의 관계를 찾는 데 탁월하므로 보다 강력한 데이터 해석기가 되고 이미지 계산 프로세스를 개선할 수 있습니다.콜렌더스카 박사는 이미지 품질이 현재 이미지보다 최대 6배 더 좋을 수 있다고 믿습니다.

콜렌더스카 박사와 그녀의 팀은 권위 있는 컴퓨터 비전 및 패턴 인식 2024에 참가할 수 있는 자격을 얻었습니다.이들은 이 대회의 41년 역사에 이름을 올린 단 10개의 뉴질랜드 팀 중 하나입니다.콜렌더스카 박사는 OCT 이미징 연구를 더욱 발전시키기 위해 2023년 기업혁신고용부 기금으로부터 999,999달러의 스마트 아이디어 보조금을 받았습니다.
