Abstract. In this paper the new method for automatic segmentation of cup and optic disc in fundus eye images taken from classical fundus camera is proposed. The proposed method is fully based on techniques from mathematical morphology. Detection of cup region makes use of watershed transformation with markers imposed, while optic disk is extracted based on geodesic reconstruction by dilation. The obtained results are encouraging.
