Segmenting Optic Disk Cup in Retinal Fundus Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optic disk (OD) center and margin are typically requisite landmarks in establishing a frame of reference for classifying retinal and optic nerve pathology. Reliable and efficient OD localization and segmentation are important tasks in automatic eye disease screening. OD Cup is segmented using Gradient method, Adaptive Threshold and Connected Component. They utilize BBB method hang on the Tint Discrepancy in the retinal images for fast and fully automatic OD localization and segmentation. Its robustness make the OD and OD Cup segmentation useful for automatic retinal disease screening in a variety of clinical settings and eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy(DR), Glaucoma, other common retinal diseases such as age related macular degeneration including myopic crescents, per papillary atrophy (PPA), and myelinated nerve fibers.

An Automatic Image Processing System for Glaucoma Screening
Horizontal and vertical cup to disc ratios are the most crucial parameters used clinically to detect glaucoma or monitor its progress and are manually evaluated from retinal fundus images of the optic nerve head. Due to the rarity of the glaucoma experts as well as the increasing in glaucoma's population, an automatically calculated horizontal and vertical cup to disc ratios (HCDR and VCDR, res...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...

The identification of MAs is an important phase in the research and grading of suffering from diabetes retinopathy. We present clustering strategy to identify the microaneurysms from the optic disk and cup in the retinal fundus pictures. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) Clustering is used for clustering the information in which the information factors are grouped with different account level. The first and ...
متن کاملOptic Nerve Head Segmentation Using Hough Transform and Active Contours
Optic nerve head is part of the retina where ganglion cell axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve. Glaucomatous changes related to loss of the nerve fibers decrease the neuroretinal rim and expand the area and volume of the cup. Therefore optic nerve head evaluation is important for early diagnosis of glaucoma. This study implements the detection of the optic nerve head in retinal fundus im...
متن کاملOptic Disc and Optic Cup Segmentation Methodologies for Glaucoma Image Detection: A Survey
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of loss of vision in the world. Examining the head of optic nerve (cup-to-disc ratio) is very important for diagnosing glaucoma and for patient monitoring after diagnosis. Images of optic disc and optic cup are acquired by fundus camera as well as Optical Coherence Tomography. The optic disc and optic cup segmentation techniques are used to isolate the relev...
