Automatic Segmentation of Fundus Eye Images Using Fuzzy Clustering for Supporting Glaucoma Diagnosing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the new method for automatic segmentation of cup region from fundus eye images taken from classical fundus camera. The proposed method which is based on fuzzy clustering algorithm is a first step in automatic classification of fundus eye images into normal and glaucomatous ones.

P14: Segmentation Brain Tumors of FMRI Images by Gabor Wavelet Transform and Fuzzy Clustering
Today, high mortality rates due to brain tumors require early diagnosis in the early stages to treat and reduce mortality. Therefore, the use of automatic methods will be very useful for accurate examination of tumors. In recent years, the use of FMRI images has been considered for clarity and high quality for the diagnosis of tumor and the exact location of the tumor. In this study, a complete...
متن کاملAn Automatic Computer Aided Diagnostic System for the Analysis of Glaucoma Using Super pixel Classification and Clustering Methods
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to vision loss. As it cannot be cured, detecting the disease in time is important. This research proposes optic disc and optic cup segmentation using superpixel classification for glaucoma screening. It uses the 2D fundus images. In optic disc segmentation, clustering algorithms are used to classify each superpixel as disc or nondisc. For optic cup s...
متن کاملOptic disc segmentation for glaucoma screening system using fundus images
Segmenting the optic disc (OD) is an important and essential step in creating a frame of reference for diagnosing optic nerve head pathologies such as glaucoma. Therefore, a reliable OD segmentation technique is necessary for automatic screening of optic nerve head abnormalities. The main contribution of this paper is in presenting a novel OD segmentation algorithm based on applying a level set...
متن کاملEarly Detection of Glaucoma Based on Local Binary Pattern and Unsupervised Clustering Approaches Using Fundus Images
Glaucoma is the second leading progressive ocular disorder after cataract caused by degenerative optic nerve head (ONH) structure. To minimize the risk of visual loss and impairment, early detection of glaucoma is needed. Among the various image structural cues for glaucoma detection, most of the clinician considered Cup-to-Disc (CDR) ratio as major factor. Hence, an robust and automated early ...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of optic disc region on retinal fundus photographs: Comparison of contour modeling and pixel classification methods
The automatic determination of the optic disc area in retinal fundus images can be useful for calculation of the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio in the glaucoma screening. We compared three different methods that employed active contour model (ACM), fuzzy c-mean (FCM) clustering, and artificial neural network (ANN) for the segmentation of the optic disc regions. The results of these methods were evaluat...
