Abstract
Visual Field (VF) measurements, crucial for diagnosing and treating glaucoma, often contain noise originating from both the instrument and subjects during the response process. This study proposes a neural network-based denoising method for VF data, obviating the need for ground truth labels or paired measurements. Using a mask-imposed VF as an input for the neural network, while the original VF serves as a training label, we evaluated performance metrics such as the accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of denoised VFs. Orthogonal experiments were also employed to assess the impact of mask number, mask structure, and replacement strategy on model accuracy. This study reveals that mask number, replacement strategy, and their interaction significantly affect the accuracy of the denoising model. Under recommended parameters, VF-Mask-Net effectively enhances the accuracy and precision of VF measurements. Furthermore, in deterioration detection tasks, denoised VFs display heightened sensitivity compared to their pre-denoising counterparts.
