Résumé

Automatic optic disc (OD) localization and segmentation is not a simple process as the OD appearance and size may significantly vary from person to person. This paper presents a novel approach for OD localization and segmentation which is fast as well as robust. In the proposed method, the image is first enhanced by de-hazing and then cropped around the OD region. The cropped image is converted to HSV domain and then V channel is used for OD detection. The vessels are extracted from the Green channel in the cropped region by multi-scale line detector and then removed by the Laplace Transform. Local adaptive thresholding and region growing are applied for binarization. Furthermore, two region properties, eccentricity, and area are then used to detect the true OD region. Finally, ellipse fitting is used to fill the region. Several datasets are used for testing the proposed method. Test results show that the accuracy and sensitivity of the proposed method are much higher than the existing state-of-the-art methods.
