چکیده

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 optic disc and optic cup using superpixel classification for glaucoma screening. In optic disc segmentation, clustering algorithms are used to classify each superpixel as disc or non-disc. For optic cup segmentation, in addition to the clustering algorithms, the Gabor filter and thresholding is used. . The segmented optic disc and optic cup are then used to compute the cup to disc ratio for glaucoma screening. The Cup to Disc Ratio (CDR) of retinal fundus camera image is the primary identifier to confirm glaucoma for a given patient.

A Method of Segmentation For Glaucoma Screening Using Superpixel Classification

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 for Glaucoma Detection

Glaucoma is an eye disease that leads to vision loss. The symptoms of the glaucoma occurs when disease is quite advance. Glaucoma is called ‘silent thief of sight’ so, that early detection of glaucoma is very essential. In existing approach three methods are used to detect glaucoma namely Assessment of raised intraocular pressure (IOP).Assessment of abnormal visual field. Assessment of damaged ...

Superpixel Classification Based Optic Cup Segmentation

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...
