Retinal Imaging
It is a digital image of the retinal, blood
vessels and the optic nerve located at the
back of your eye

Used to detect many diseases

Optic Disc Optic Disk

Finding the optic disc is critical

Done in two steps

Localization
Detection
Default Template
1. Blur Image using (6x6) window

1. Extract (80x80) optic disk

1. Extract the color components: red,

green, blue and store their histograms

1. Do this for all images in dataset and take

average
Localization
For any new image
1. Blur Image using (6x6) window

1. Use an (80x80) sliding window, for each

window-

1. Extract the color components: red,

green, blue and store their histograms
Localization
For any new image

4. Find c for each channel

5. Find combined c

6. Max value of c is the center of the

disc
