Automatic analysis of retinal fundus images is of vital importance in diagnosis tasks of retinopathy. Segmenting vessels accurately is a fundamental step in analysing retinal images. However, it is usually difficult due to various imaging conditions, low image contrast and the appearance of pathologies such as micro-aneurysms. In this paper, we propose a novel method with deep neural networks to solve this problem. We utilize U-net with residual connection to detect vessels. To achieve better accuracy, we introduce an edge-aware mechanism, in which we convert the original task into a multi-class task by adding additional labels on boundary areas. In this way, the network will pay more attention to the boundary areas of vessels and achieve a better performance, especially in tiny vessels detecting. Besides, side output layers are applied in order to give deep supervision and therefore help convergence. We train and evaluate our model on three databases: DRIVE, STARE, and CHASEDB1. Experimental results show that our method has a comparable performance with AUC of 97.99% on DRIVE and an efficient running time compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
