Abstract

Special equipment, a fundus camera, is needed to capture the retina, which is the most important part of the human eye. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to design and implement a system that would be able to generate retinal images. The proposed solution uses an image-to-image translation, where the system is provided with a black and white image at the input containing only bloodstream, on the basis of which a color image of the entire retina is generated. The system consists of two neural networks: a generator, which generates retinal images, and a discriminator, which classifies these images as real or synthetic. Training of this system was performed on 141 images from publicly available databases. A new database was created with more than 2,800 images of healthy retinas in a resolution of 1024x1024. This database could be used as a learning tool for ophthalmologists or for the development of various applications working with retinas.
