Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 4, wherein the first model comprises a convolutional neural network (CNN), and wherein generating the membrane mask comprises:
generating a first generated image based on the at least one image of the retina;
generating, by a first encoder block in the CNN, a second generated image by convolving or cross-correlating the first generated image with a first encoder filter, the first encoder filter being associated with a first kernel dilation rate;
generating, by a second encoder block in the CNN, a third generated image by convolving or cross-correlating the second generated image with a second encoder filter, the second encoder filter being associated with a second kernel dilation rate;
generating, by a decoder block in the CNN, a fourth generated image by concatenating the second generated image and the third generated image;
generating, by the decoder block, a fifth generated image by convolving or cross-correlating the fourth generated image with a decoder filter without dilation; and
generating the membrane mask based on the fifth generated image.
