Joint Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation Based on Multi-label Deep Network and Polar Transformation

Understand

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to irreversible vision loss.

• The cup to disc ratio (CDR) plays an important role in the screening and diagnosis of glaucoma.
• Thus, the accurate and automatic segmentation of optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) from fundus images is a fundamental task.
• Most existing methods segment them separately, and rely on hand-crafted visual feature from fundus images.
