Abstract
Computer vision approaches have grown exponentially in recent years. Training AI models often requires annotated data. To increase effectiveness of this procedure one can use semi-automatic semantic annotation tools where some simplified approaches (based either on some pretrained models or visible features parameters) are implemented and manually tuned to isolate specific objects. OCT-signals contain information-bearing specific speckle structure and signal attenuation patterns. The parameters of these patterns corresponds to tangible tissue properties (such as scatterers spatial distributions), therefore can be used to construct semi-automatic semantic annotation tools. Using OCT-signal simulation approaches we evaluate the parameters of speckle patterns and attenuation coefficients and propose novel semantic annotation tools for OCT scans. We demonstrate the performance of semi-automatic 3D segmentation and annotation. This tool can be used as a supportive tool for AI applications as well as independent tool for semi-automatic scans segmentations and further characterization.
