Abstract
Fundus images are retinal images that display many features of the human eye, such as the optic disc, blood vessels, retina, fovea, and macula. The optic disc is a circular elevation on the retina where sensory fibers and retinal vessels pass through the eyeball, it is also the origin of the retinal blood vessels. The observation of fundus images, specifically the optic disc, is crucial in recognizing and diagnosing diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, optic nerve atrophy, etc. The study of specific pathologies and abnormalities on the optic disc is critical for professionals to provide proper treatment before any conditions worsen. Using image processing techniques, the proposed method uses deformable models to localize and segment the optic disc.
