    Segmenting the optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) is crucial to accurately detect changes in glaucoma progression in the elderly. Recently, various convolutional neural networks have emerged to deal with OD and OC segmentation. Due to the domain shift problem, achieving high-accuracy segmentation of OD and OC from different domain datasets remains highly challenging. Unsupervised domain adaptation has taken extensive focus as a way to address this problem. In this work, we propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation method, called entropy and distance-guided super self-ensembling (EDSS), to enhance the segmentation performance of OD and OC. EDSS is comprised of two self-ensembling models, and the Gaussian noise is added to the weights of the whole network. Firstly, we design a super self-ensembling (SSE) framework, which can combine two self-ensembling to learn more discriminative information about images. Secondly, we propose a novel exponential moving average with Gaussian noise (G-EMA) to enhance the robustness of the self-ensembling framework. Thirdly, we propose an effective multi-information fusion strategy (MFS) to guide and improve the domain adaptation process. We evaluate the proposed EDSS on two public fundus image datasets RIGA+ and REFUGE. Large amounts of experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EDSS outperforms state-of-the-art segmentation methods with unsupervised domain adaptation, e.g., the Dicemean score on three test sub-datasets of RIGA+ are 0.8442, 0.8772 and 0.9006, respectively, and the Dicemean score on the REFUGE dataset is 0.9154. © 2024 Optica Publishing Group.
