A comparative Study on Optic Disc Localization with Application to Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus Images

چکیده
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world among patients suffering from diabetes. It is an ocular disease and progressive by nature. DR is characterized by pathologies, namely, micro aneurysms, hard exudates, soft exudates, hemorrhages, etc. The presence of exudates is the prominent sign of non-proliferative DR. To successfully detect exudates, it is useful to localize the optic disc in the retinal image under study because it appears in similar bright pattern, color and contrast as exudates appear. In this paper, we review different methods of optic disc localization and compare their results by performing experiments on standard and local database of fundus images.

Morphological 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...
متن کاملAutomated Localization of the Optic Disc in Retinal Images Using Top Hat Transform Algorithm
In Diabetic retinopathy, early detection as well as periodic screening helps in reducing the progress of disease and in preventing the subsequent loss of visual capability. The system extracts some retinal features, such as optic disc, retinal tissue for easier segmentation of dark spot lesions in the fundus images. To improve the detection optic disc in diabetic retinopathy image, a morphologi...
متن کاملFundus optic disc localization and segmentation method based on phase congruency.
It has been demonstrated that shape, area and depth of the optic disc are relevant indices of diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, we present a new fundus optic disc localization and segmentation method based on phase congruency (PC). Firstly, in order to highlight the optic disc, channel images with the highest contrast between optic disc and background are selected in LAB, YUV, YIQ and HSV sp...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...
متن کاملAutomatic non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy screening system based on color fundus image
BACKGROUND Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the early stage of diabetic retinopathy. Automatic detection of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy is significant for clinical diagnosis, early screening and course progression of patients. METHODS This paper introduces the design and implementation of an automatic system for screening non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy based on col...
