PALM: Open Fundus Photograph Dataset with Pathologic Myopia Recognition and Anatomical Structure Annotation

Understand

Pathologic myopia (PM) is a common blinding retinal degeneration suffered by highly myopic population.

• Early screening of this condition can reduce the damage caused by the associated fundus lesions and therefore prevent vision loss.
• Automated diagnostic tools based on artificial intelligence methods can benefit this process by aiding clinicians to identify disease signs or to screen mass populations using color fundus photographs as inputs.
• This paper provides insights about PALM, our open fundus imaging dataset for pathological myopia recognition and anatomical structure annotation.
