A Method of Segmentation For Glaucoma Screening Using Superpixel Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT: Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to vision loss. Detecting glaucoma in time is critical. The symptoms of the glaucoma disease occur when it is in advanced stage. Hence, glaucoma is called the silent thief of sight. Detecting the disease in time is very important. In this project, an optic disc and optic cup segmentation is used to identify the glaucoma disease in time. In optic disc and optic cup segmentation, super pixel classification for glaucoma screening is proposed. In optic disc segmentation, histograms and centre surround statistics are used to classify each super pixel as disc or non-disc. A self assessment reliability score is computed to evaluate the quality of the automated optic disc segmentation. In optic cup segmentation, the location information is also included into the feature space for better performance in addition to the histograms and centre surround statistics. The segmented optic cup and optic disc is then used to compute the cup to disc ratio for glaucoma screening. From the cup to disc ratio, analysis is performed to identify whether the given image is glaucomatous or not. The segmentation can be analyzed using the MATLAB.

Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation for glaucoma Screening based on Superpixel classification
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to blindness. This disease cannot be cured but we can detect the disease in time. Current tests using intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement are not sensitive enough for population based glaucoma screening. Optic nerve head assessment in retinal fundus images is more promising and superior than current methods. This paper proposes segmentation of opt...

In this paper, we propose a superpixel classification based optic cup segmentation for glaucoma detection. In the proposed method, each optic disc image is first over-segmented into superpixels. Then mean intensities, center surround statistics and the location features are extracted from each superpixel to classify it as cup or non-cup. The proposed method has been evaluated in one database of...

متن کاملDetection of Glaucoma based on Superpixel Generation and Feature Extraction
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which the optic nerve is progressively damaged. It is the second leading cause of blindness and is predicted to affect around 80 million people by 2020. Development of the disease leads to loss of vision which occurs gradually over a long period of time. Since it is very difficult to cure the disease at severe stage, it can be detected initially by using pro...
