Detecting the Optic Disc and Optic Cup Boundary for Glaucoma Screening A Review

Abstract

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Assessment of damaged optic nerve head is both more promising, and superior to IOP measurement or visual field testing for glaucoma screening. This paper present here the automatic glaucoma screening using CDR from 2 D fundus images using superpixel classification. . We compute centre surround statistics from super pixels and unify them with histograms for disc and cup segmentation. Based on the segmented disc and cup, CDR is computed for glaucoma screening. In addition, the proposed method computes a self - assessment reliability score for its disc segmentation result.
