Abstract: Introduced here are techniques to accurately and efficiently generate an image indicative of a fundus. An imaging device engaged to an ophthalmology device, such as an indirect ophthalmoscope, may capture a series of images of a fundus. The series of images may be segmented to identify a region of interest (ROI) representing the fundus in each image. The segmented series of images may be projected onto a coordinate space to remove any distortion in each of the series of images. The projected segmented series of images may be combined into an output fundus image. As a result, the output fundus image may remove distortion and glare included in the input images. The output fundus image may be utilized in detection and diagnosis of various conditions and diseases.
