Objective: Image processing technique is utilized in the medical field widely nowadays. Hence, therefore, this technique is used to extract the different features like blood vessels, optic disk, macula, fovea etc. automatically of the retinal image of eye.Methods: This paper presents a simple and fast algorithm using Mathematical Morphology to find the fovea of fundus retinal image. The image for analysis is obtained from the DRIVE database. Also, this paper is enhanced to detect the Diabetic Retinopathy disease occurring in the eye.Results: Detection of optic disc boundary becomes important for the diagnosis of glaucoma. The iterative curve evolution was stopped at the image boundaries where the energy was minimum.
Conclusion:The changes in the shape and size of the optic disc can be used to detect glaucoma and also cup ratio can be used as a measure of glaucoma.
One of the most dangerous diseases is Human Cancer, it is caused by instability of the multiple molecular alterations in the genetic. The most common one among the different forms of human cancer is the skin cancer. With help of different techniques like segmentation and feature extraction the skin cancer can be identified and analyzed at the early stage. The malignant melanoma skin cancer which occurs due to the high concentration of the melanocytic cells present beneath the skin is demonstrated in this paper. In this paper, for detecting of the malignant melanoma skin cancer the ABCD rule dermoscopy technology is used. First, the Image Acquisition technique then the pre-processing, segmentation, skin Feature Selection determines lesion characterization and classification methods are the several techniques used to find melanoma skin lesion. By digital image processing methods like border detection, color, symmetry detection and diameter detection the feature extraction is done and for the extraction of the texture-based feature LBP is used. As a classifier ANN is used in this proposed method. Finally, to classify the benign or malignant stage the Back Propagation Neural Network is used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
