The aim of this study is to propose a precise disparity estimation process between retinal fundus stereoscopic images to assist during eye diagnosis and view generation for visualization. We propose a computer-vision-based solution that allows, from stereo images, the extraction of precise disparity information that could be used for clinical parameters estimation and/or the generation of multi-viewpoint images of retinal fundus. The proposed solution is based on a sub-pixel disparity estimation algorithm that takes into consideration the spherical shape of the retinal fundus. A sub-pixel approach is adopted in order to achieve high precision disparity estimation. Moreover, the a priori knowledge of the fundus geometric shape provides useful information for the regularization of the high precision disparity estimation process. Stereo images, with known ground truth, are used to evaluate the proposed algorithm and to demonstrate the high precision of estimated disparity in our methods.
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.
