用 AI 看得更好了

人工智能(AI)可以通过生成更清晰的图像和减少昂贵的检查来彻底改变我们监测眼睛健康的方式。坎特伯雷大学物理学高级研究员西尔维亚·科伦德斯卡博士计划使用人工智能使光学相干断层扫描(OCT)更容易获得。

OCT 是一种用于眼健康评估的光基成像技术。它可以创建眼睛的三维内部图像,类似于超声波,但要使用光线。但是,高分辨率的OCT机器价格昂贵,这使得许多研究人员和临床医生望而却步。

科伦德斯卡博士注意到,这些昂贵的机器存在数据处理问题。尽管它们可以生成高质量的图像,但这些图像无法立即获得。它们需要根据原始信号进行计算,这会减慢处理速度。

科伦德斯卡博士看到了改进能产生较低质量图像的廉价机器的机会。她提议使用神经网络(一种通过分析数据来学习人脑模式的算法)来取代OCT图像计算的标准算法。这将创建即时且更清晰的图像。

科伦德斯卡博士解释说:“我们可以选择一台更便宜、分辨率更差的机器,然后应用我们自己的技术,就像软件更新一样,将低分辨率数据制作成与非常昂贵的OCT机器相媲美的高分辨率图像。”“将来,它可以制成硬件,并像USB记忆棒一样连接到OCT机器。”

人工智能非常适合查找不同数据集之间的关系,使其成为更强大的数据解释器并增强图像计算过程。科伦德斯卡博士认为,图像质量可能比当前图像好六倍。

科伦德斯卡博士和她的团队已获准参加久负盛名的2024年计算机视觉和模式识别。他们是该赛事41年历史上仅有的十支新西兰队伍之一。为了进一步开展OCT成像方面的工作,科伦德斯卡博士从2023年商业、创新和就业部努力基金获得了999,999美元的智能创意补助金。
