Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. The system of claim 12, wherein the second model comprises blocks arranged in series, wherein the blocks comprise:
a combination function configured to generate an input by combining the membrane mask and the at least one image of the retina of the subject;
a first encoder block configured to generate a first output by performing first operations on the input, the first operations comprising at least one first convolution operation;
a second encoder block configured to generate a second output by performing second operations on the first output, the second operations comprising at least one second convolution operation;
a decoder block configured to generate a third output by:
generating a combined output by concatenating the first output and the second output; and
performing third operations on the combined output, the third operations comprising at least one third convolution operation,

wherein the at least one first convolution operation comprises a first atrous convolution operation associated with a first dilation rate and the at least one second convolution operation comprises a second atrous convolution operation associated with a second dilation rate, the second dilation rate being greater than the first dilation rate, and
wherein the third convolution operation is performed without dilation.
