Glaucoma is an eye disorder that impairs the optic nerve and can cause permanent blindness if left untreated. This condition arises due to elevated pressure inside the retina. As damage from glaucoma is impossible to rectify, early detection helps to prevent vision loss. Manual examination of fundus photographs is a difficult process for medical examiners because a large set of images will have only a small number of glaucomatous images, so Computer-aided systems can reduce the work load by automatically analyzing the images. Here a computer-aided diagnosis system for glaucoma screening based on VCDR value along with texture features extracted using Gabor filter is proposed. The processed retinal fundus images are segmented and the VCDR value is calculated from the segmented images. The simulation is carried out in Python 3 and the databases used are DRISHTI GS1 and HRF. The system is evaluated using four classifiers SVM, KNN, Logistic regression and Random forest.
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.
