A Study on the Examination of RGB Scale Retinal Pictures Using Recent Methodologies

Abstract

Retinal disease/condition examination is one of the significant areas of the medical field. A variety of retinal abnormality assessments based on fundus image-assisted trials are widely proposed by the researchers to examine the parts of the retina. Recently, traditional and soft computing-based approaches are executed to inspect the optic disc and the blood vessels of the retina to discover disease/damages. This work implements (i) A two-phase methodology based on Jaya Algorithm (JA) and Kapur's Entropy (KE) thresholding and level-set segmentation for the optic disc evaluation and (ii) JA-based Multi-scale Matched Filter (MMF) for the blood vessel assessment. During this analysis, various benchmark datasets such as RIM-ONE, DRIVE, and STARE are considered. The experimental study substantiates that JA-assisted retinal picture examination offers better results than other related existing methodologies.
