Quantifying monochromatic and polychromatic optical blur anisotropy in the periphery of myopes and emmetropes using a radial asymmetry metric by Chloe Degre Kendrick, Dibyendu Pusti, Geunyoung Yoon

“…PurposeThe goal of this study is to characterize peripheral blur anisotropy resulting from monochromatic and chromatic aberrations along multiple meridians of myopic and emmetropic eyes using a newly developed quantitative metric.MethodsA scanning Shack-Hartmann-based wavefront sensor was used to measure lower- and higher-order monochromatic aberrations along the horizontal and vertical meridians of 20 healthy adult subjects (10 myopes, and 10 emmetropes). …”

Gilbert, Daniel Truhn, Jakob Nikolas Kather

“…However, the development of AI models is often hindered by manual annotation requirements and strict data-sharing regulations between institutions. Methods In this study, we present an integrated pipeline combining weakly supervised learning—reducing the need for detailed annotations—with local AI model training via swarm learning (SL), which circumvents centralized data sharing. …”
