Haleem MS, Han L, van Hemert J, Li B, Fleming A. Superpixel based retinal area detection in SLO images. Poster presented at the ICCVG 2014 International Conference; September 15, 2014. Warsaw, Poland. [abstract] Computer vision and graphics. 2014; 8671:254-61. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-11331-9_31


Distinguishing true retinal area from artefacts in SLO images is a challenging task, which is the first important step towards computer-aided disease diagnosis. In this paper, we have developed a new method based on superpixel feature analysis and classification approaches for determination of retinal area scanned by Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope(SLO). Our prototype has achieved the accuracy of 90% on healthy as well as diseased retinal images. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on retinal area detection in SLO images.
