    Summary

    This study presents an image processing algorithm for accurately locating the optic disc (OD) in low-resolution fundus images. The novel method achieves a 7% average error in optic disc center positioning with no false detections.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Accurate localization of the optic disc (OD) is crucial for diagnosing various eye conditions.
    • Low-resolution color fundus images present challenges for precise OD detection due to reduced detail.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate an image processing algorithm for optic disc localization in low-resolution fundus images.
    • To achieve high accuracy and reliability in optic disc detection, even with varying image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • A hybrid approach combining Hausdorff-based template matching on edge maps with pyramidal decomposition for object tracking.
    • Algorithm tested on a diverse database of 40 fundus images with varying visual quality and patient characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an average error of 7% in optic disc center positioning.
    • Demonstrated no false detections across the tested image database.
    • Developed a confidence level metric to quantify detection difficulty.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm effectively localizes the optic disc in low-resolution fundus images.
    • The method shows robustness against variations in image quality and pupil size.
    • The associated confidence level provides valuable information about detection reliability.
