Detection of Bright Lesions in Digital Fundus Images
ثبت نشده
چکیده
DETECTION OF BRIGHT LESIONS IN DIGITAL FUNDUS IMAGES Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and primary cause of blindness in Indian adults. Bright lesions such as hard exudates and cottonwool spots are the visible signs of diabetic retinopathy. These bright lesions are also an indicator for the incidence of co-existent retinal edema. If present in the macular area, bright lesions are the major cause of visual loss. It would be helpful to have an automated method for detecting bright lesions in digital fundus images produced from screening programmes of diabetic retinopathy.

Morphological 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...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the operating characteristics of a reading software (Retinalyze System, Retinalyze A/S, Hørsholm, Denmark) for automated prescreening of digital fundus images for diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Digital fundus images of patients with diabetes were retrospectively selected from the Bro Taf diabetic retinopathy screening program in Wales, UK in the period of 2002-2...
متن کاملDigital Image Processing for Ophthalmology: Detection of the Optic Nerve Head
DOWNLOAD HERE Fundus images of the retina are color images of the eye taken by specially designed digital cameras. Ophthalmologists rely on fundus images to diagnose various diseases that affect the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. A crucial preliminary step in the analysis of retinal images is the identification and localization of important anatomical structur...
متن کاملDetection and Classification of Hard Exudates in Human Retinal Fundus Images Using Clustering and Random Forest Methods
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a vascular disorder where the retina is damaged because fluid leaks from blood vessels into the retina. One of the primary lesions of diabetic retinopathy is exudates, which appear on retinal images as bright patches with various borders. In this work an image processing framework is presented to automatically detect and classify the presence of hard exudates in the...
متن کاملBright Retinal Lesions Detection using Color Fundus Images Containing Reflective Features
Recently, the research community has developed many techniques to detect and diagnose diabetic retinopathy with retinal fundus images. This is a necessary step for the implementation of a large scale screening effort in rural areas where ophthalmologists are not available. In the United States of America, the incidence of diabetes is increasing among the young population. Retina fundus images o...
