Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that is instrumental in retinal disease diagnosis and treatment. Segmentation of retinal layers in OCT is an essential step, but remains challenging for common pixel-wise segmentation methods usually fail to obtain the correct layer topology. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel Locate-to-Segment (L2S) framework to prov...
