Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
- Computer Science
Background:
- Automatic retinal fundus image quality analysis is crucial for accurate computer-aided retinal disease diagnosis.
- High-quality images are essential for reliable localization and segmentation of retinal regions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present new feature extraction methods for image quality classification using full-reference and no-reference metrics.
- To develop an automated system for classifying retinal fundus image quality.
Main Methods:
- Extracted basic, reference, and no-reference image features from fundus images.
- Utilized image processing techniques for automatic feature extraction.
- Employed various classification algorithms for image quality determination based on illumination, clarity, intensity, contrast, and visibility.
Main Results:
- Evaluated on 2674 images from 13 public datasets.
- Achieved high performance metrics: 99.36% sensitivity, 96.79% accuracy, 96.29% precision, and 97.79% F1 score.
Conclusions:
- The proposed system outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in image quality assessment.
- Demonstrated efficiency and robustness, making it suitable for automatic retinal disease diagnosis.
