Research Methods
| ★Method 1 — OCT image segmentation using graph based methods |
| We have reported a graph-theoretic based method for abnormal retinal layer segmentation and SEAD segmentation. The proposed graph-theoretic based method effectively combined the GS and GC methods for segmenting the retinal layers and the SEADs simultaneously. |

| ★Method 4 — Graph Cut and Oriented Active Appearance Models |
| we have proposed a synergistic combination of the image-based GC and model-based ASM methods. The proposed cost function effectively integrates the ASM shape information into the GC paradigm. The automatic object recognition strategy employed by GC-ASM is based on the minimum total GC cut cost, which utilizes combined prior shape and specific image information. |

| ★Method 6 — Enhanced low-rank + sparsity decomposition for speckle reduction in optical coherence tomography |
Speckle artifact can strongly hamper quantitative analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT). We introduce a new method for speckle reduction, which leverages from low-rank + sparsity decomposition (LRpSD) of OCT images, we combine nonconvex regularizaiton-based low-rank approximation of original OCT image with sparsity term that incorporates the speckle. The method yields OCT image with improved contrast-to-noise ratio, contrast and edge fidelity. [Matlab codes for Download]
