Automated optic disk segmentation for optic disk edema classification using factorized gradient vector flow

Abstract One significant ocular symptom of neuro-ophthalmic disorders of the optic disk (OD) is optic disk edema (ODE). The etiologies of ODE are broad, with various symptoms and effects. Early detection of ODE can prevent potential vision loss and fatal vision problems. The texture of edematous OD...

description Abstract One significant ocular symptom of neuro-ophthalmic disorders of the optic disk (OD) is optic disk edema (ODE). The etiologies of ODE are broad, with various symptoms and effects. Early detection of ODE can prevent potential vision loss and fatal vision problems. The texture of edematous OD significantly differs from the non-edematous OD in retinal images. As a result, techniques that usually work for non-edematous cases may not work well for edematous cases. We propose a fully automatic OD classification of edematous and non-edematous OD on fundus image collections containing a mixture of edematous and non-edematous ODs. The proposed algorithm involved localization, segmentation, and classification of edematous and non-edematous OD. The factorized gradient vector flow (FGVF) was used to segment the ODs. The OD type was classified using a linear support vector machine (SVM) based on 27 features extracted from the vessels, GLCM, color, and intensity line profile. The proposed method was tested on 295 images with 146 edematous cases and 149 non-edematous cases from three datasets. The segmentation achieves an average precision of 88.41%, recall of 89.35%, and F1-Score of 86.53%. The average classification accuracy is 99.40% and outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 3.43%.
