“…It has been investigated as a precursor for other issues, for example as identifying a starting point for blood vessel segmentation [23], [24]. It has also been investigated as a byproduct of general retinal image segmentation, for instance into separate identifications of arteries, veins, the nerve, the fovea, and lesions [1], [7], [13], [17]. Here, we review these related works.…”

Abstract-We describe an automated method to locate the optic nerve in images of the ocular fundus. Our method uses a novel algorithm we call fuzzy convergence to determine the origination of the blood vessel network. We evaluate our method using 31 images of healthy retinas and 50 images of diseased retinas, containing such diverse symptoms as tortuous vessels, choroidal neovascularization, and hemorrhages that completely obscure the actual nerve. On this difficult data set, our method achieved 89% correct detection. We also compare our method against three simpler methods, demonstrating the performance improvement. All our images and data are freely available for other researchers to use in evaluating related methods.

“…Tracing of vessels is done via forward detection, bifurcation identification, and backward verification. In the work done by A.Kaupp et.al, a method was presented to segment a retinal image into arteries, veins, the optic disk, the macula, and background [4]. The method is based upon split-and-merge segmentation, followed by feature based classification.…”

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the micro vascular changes that cause detectable changes in the optic disc. This paper aims at the detection of retinal exudates and other features such as blood vessels and optic disc from fundus image. The two methods are implemented for the detection of exudates they are morphological method and FCM clustering method. Contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLACHE) is used to extract the green component in the image. In blood vessel extraction, blood vessels are extracted by top hat transformation followed by connected component analysis. The optic disc centre is found using Circular Hough Transform (CHT) and propagation through radii method is employed and the entire optic disc region is blackened and removed. Exudates detection is the important characteristics of diabetic retinopathy and its varies depends upon the severity of the DR. The FCM method used to detect exudates. The overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy are calculated and 98% accuracy obtained
