Automated Diagnosis of Eye Fundus Images

Automated lesion detectors in retinal fundus images

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a sight-threatening condition occurring in persons with diabetes, which causes progressive damage to the retina. The early detection and diagnosis of DR is vital for saving the vision of diabetic persons. The early signs of DR which appear on the surface of the retina are the dark lesions such as microaneurysms (MAs) and hemorrhages (HEMs), and bright lesions (BLs) ...

Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Processing of Fundus Images and Morphological Techniques

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is the damaging effect of diabetes on retinal blood vessels that can cause blindness when diagnosed late. Microaneurysms are early signs of the disease that their early diagnosis promotes timely treatment and prevents disease progression. Since this disease is asymptomatic and can only be detected by ophthalmologists, diabetic patients should be tested regular...

A morphologic two-stage approach for automated optic disk detection in color eye fundus images

A new adaptive morphological method for the automatic detection of the optic disk in digital color eye fundus images is presented in this paper. This method has been designed to detect the optic disk center and the optic disk rim. In our experiments with the DRIVE and DIARETDB1 databases, the proposed method was able to detect the optic disk center with 100% and 97.75% of accuracy, respectively...
