Software para quantificação do glaucoma usando imagens coloridas do fundo de olh

Abstract

Glaucoma is an eye disorder caused by increased intraocular pressure resulting in damage to the optic nerve. In this work, we present a new computer-based approach for quantifying glaucoma using color eye fundus images. First, we have developed a semi-automatic soft-ware that addresses this question. Then, we evaluated its use in clinical practice. A prelimi-nary evaluation of the proposed software performance using local private color eye fundus images indicates that it can achieve an accuracy of 100%. Thus, these preliminary results sug-gest that our methodology potentially can be applicable in practice.
