Automated Optic Disc region location from fundus images: Using local multi-level thresholding, best channel selection, and an Intensity Profile Model

ConclusionsThe obtained results show that the proposed method is robust and achieves the maximum detection rate in all four compared databases, which demonstrates its effectiveness and suitability to be integrated into a complete prescreening system for early diagnosis of retinal diseases. Use of promising OD region location reduces processing area in about 40%.
