摘要
Segmentation is a process of dividing image into multiple parts. Each part is called a segment. The main objective of the segmenting image is to convert the representation of an image into another format that is useful for the analysis of image features and properties. Retinal image segmentation is an essential stage for retinal disease analysis and identification. Retinal image segmentation helps the ophthalmologists in the detection of glaucoma eye disease. Glaucoma eye disease is one of the important causes of permanent vision loss. Early detection of glaucoma is most important to prevent further progression of vision loss. The vertical cup-to-disc ratio is the important clinical parameter used for glaucoma disease detection. Therefore, accurate segmentation of optic disc from retinal images is of great significance. This work presents three categories of segmentation algorithms for the segmentation of the optic disc region from retinal fundus images. Thresholding-based methods, clustering-based technique, and region-based technique are used for optic disc segmentation. The proposed methods were evaluated using DRIONS-DB dataset containing 110 images and HRF dataset containing 45 images. The performance metric boundary localization error is calculated by comparing each proposed method with the ground truth values. Results from the proposed methods show that methods are less complex and efficiently work on all images. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
