Abstract

The performance and scope of computer vision methods applied to ophthalmic images is highly dependent on the availability of labelled training data. While there are a number of colour fundus photography datasets, FOVEA is to the best of our knowledge the first dataset that matches high-quality annotations in the intraoperative domain with those in the preoperative one. It comprises data from 40 patients collected at Moorfields Eye Hospital (London, UK) and includes preoperative and intraoperative retinal vessel and optic disc annotations performed by two independent clinical research fellows, as well as short video clips showing the retinal fundus though biomicroscopy imaging in the intraoperative setting. The annotations were validated and converted into binary segmentation masks, with the code used available on GitHub. We expect this data to be useful for deep learning applications aimed at supporting surgeons during vitreoretinal surgery procedures e.g. by localising points of interest or registering additional imaging modalities.
