Title
Automatic cyst detection in OCT retinal images combining region flooding and texture analysis
Abstract
In this work Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) retinal images are automatically processed to detect the presence of cysts. The methodology is composed by three phases: region of interest where cysts will be searched is delimited; a watershed algorithm is applied to find all the possible regions in the image which might conform cystic structures; finally, texture analysis is performed in each region from previous phase to final classification. Results show that accuracy achieved with this method is over 80%.
