研究目的
To propose an optic disc segmentation algorithm using low rank matrix recovery theory and Hough transform for automatic retinal disease screening systems.
研究成果
The proposed algorithm effectively segments optic discs with high accuracy (92.9% on MESSIDOR dataset), low computation time, and robustness to variable illuminations and angles. It does not require training, making it suitable for single-image processing. However, it performs better on healthy images than glaucoma ones due to shape and brightness changes, and further improvements in sensitivity are needed for clinical applications.
研究不足
The method is sensitive to interferences around the boundary, especially bright lesions, and may fail with blurred OD boundaries. Sensitivity needs improvement, as indicated by lower values in glaucoma images. The implementation has not been optimized for speed, though computation time is reduced compared to template-based methods.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology involves preprocessing fundus images by extracting the red channel, erasing blood vessels using morphological operations, and enhancing contrast with CLAHE. Feature extraction includes color, steerable pyramids, and Gabor filters. Low rank matrix recovery is applied to separate the disc from the background, followed by threshold segmentation and Hough transform for circular detection.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The MESSIDOR public dataset is used, with 159 fundus images annotated by ophthalmologists, including healthy and glaucoma subsets.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned; the method is computational and uses image processing techniques.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps include preprocessing, feature extraction, low rank matrix recovery, thresholding with Otsu algorithm, and Hough transform for segmentation. Evaluation is done using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision metrics.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Quantitative evaluation based on TP, FP, TN, FN calculations for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision.
