  Purpose: To extract the characteristic features of glaucoma automatically and early detection of the excavation of the cup inside papilla to identify the glaucomatous from non-glaucomatous to limit the disease progression. Design: Perspective based on literature review and clinical expertise and analysis a set of clinical retinal fundus images for ophthalmology. Methods: To automatically extract the disc, two methods making use of an edge detection circular Hough transform method and active contours are proposed in the paper. For the cup, excavation, inspection by histogram is used to automatically detect the cup. Results: The value of cup-to-disc ratio CDR which is more than 0.50 is used to assess a patient as a glaucomatous case and the retina images analysis shows other features. .. View More»
