Automatic Detection of Optic disc in Eye Fundus Images

چکیده
In the automatic analysis of retinal images for diagnosing various eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma etc. the automatic detection of the optic disc is a crucial step. Before processing the fundus image for detecting any type of retinal disease it is necessary to mask out the anatomical features of eye so that they will not be mistaken as abnormality. Optic disc often considered as a bright lesion if not segmented out and results in false positives that affect the final results, therefore it is crucial to detect the optic disc. In this paper, a review of various methods for localizing and detecting optic disc along with their merits and demerits is

Automatic Optic Disc Center and Boundary Detection in Color Fundus Images
Accurately detection of retinal landmarks, like optic disc, is an important step in the computer aided diagnosis frameworks. This paper presents an efficient method for automatic detection of the optic disc’s center and estimating its boundary. The center and initial diameter of optic disc are estimated by employing an ANN classifier. The ANN classifier employs visual features of vessels and th...
متن کاملMorphological 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 کاملAutomatic detection of Optic Disc based on Mathematical Morphology in Retinal Fundus Images
Optic disc segmentation is a prerequisite in automatic analysis of retinal disease in color fundus images. In this paper, an algorithm for detection of optic disc (OD) in fundus images is presented. Mathematical morphology is used for segmentation of candidate optic disc region, followed by determining its center and approximating the circular optic disc boundary using circular model. Proposed ...
