Abstract:Retinal image analysis is one of the crucial topics in medical image processing. During the last three decades, people are trying to extract the different features (like blood vessels, optic disk, macula, fovea etc.) automatically from retinalimage. Fovea and optic disc are the important features of a fundus retinal image.The quantitative analysis of retinal images is of increasing importance in the diagnosis of the various eye disorders.Hence a number of algorithms and techniques are being developed for its segmentation. This paper analyses various algorithms and techniques proposed earlier for the detection of optic disc and fovea.
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.
