Colour Morphology and Snakes for Optic Disc Localisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The location of the optic disc is of critical importance in retinal image analysis. We improve on past approaches on optic disc detection by working in colour space and also by localising accurately the optic disc boundary using an automatically initialised snake. The key issue presented is a comparison of colour spaces for performing colour morphology to remove blood vessels and prepare the image for snake analysis. Results indicate 100% accuracy for identification and 90.32% average accuracy in localising the optic disc boundary.

Comparison of Colour Spaces for Optic Disc Localisation in Retinal Images
The location of the optic disc is of critical importance in retinal image analysis. In this work we improve on an approach introduced in [3] who localised an optic disc region through greylevel morphology followed by snake fitting. We propose and implement both the automatic initialisation of the snake and the application of morphology in colour space. We examine various methods of performing t...
متن کاملClassification and Localisation of Diabetic-Related Eye Disease
Retinal exudates are a characteristic feature of many retinal diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy. We address the development of a method to quantitatively diagnose these random yellow patches in colour retinal images automatically. After a colour normalisation and contrast enhancement preprocessing step, the colour retinal image is segmented using Fuzzy C-Means clustering. We then classify t...
متن کاملAutomated localisation of the optic disc, fovea, and retinal blood vessels from digital colour fundus images.
AIM To recognise automatically the main components of the fundus on digital colour images. METHODS The main features of a fundus retinal image were defined as the optic disc, fovea, and blood vessels. Methods are described for their automatic recognition and location. 112 retinal images were preprocessed via adaptive, local, contrast enhancement. The optic discs were located by identifying th...
متن کاملOptic disc morphology in pigmentary glaucoma.
AIM To evaluate the morphology of the optic nerve head in eyes with pigmentary glaucoma. METHODS Colour stereo optic disc photographs of 62 patients with pigmentary glaucoma and 566 patients with primary open angle glaucoma were morphometrically evaluated. By prestudy selection, mean visual field defect and neuroretinal rim area were not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.8...
متن کاملCLINICAL SCIENCE Optic disc morphology of patients with OPA1 autosomal dominant optic atrophy
Background/aims: Patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) are genetically heterogeneous, but all have disc pallor. A degree of cupping in ADOA can make the distinction from normal tension glaucoma (NTG) clinically difficult. This study aimed to clarify the features of the optic nerve of patients with ADOA at the OPA1 locus. Methods: 29 patients (58 eyes), from 12 families, were ide...
