  • Patent number: 9445716
    Abstract: A non-stereo fundus image is used to obtain a plurality of glaucoma indicators. Additionally, genome data for the subject is used to obtain genetic marker data relating to one or more genes and/or SNPs associated with glaucoma. The glaucoma indicators and genetic marker data are input into an adaptive model operative to generate an output indicative of a risk of glaucoma in the subject. In combination, the genetic indicators and genome data are more informative about the risk of glaucoma than either of the two in isolation. The adaptive model may be a two-stage model, having a first stage in which individual genetic indicators are combined with respective portions of the genome data by first adaptive model modules to form respective first outputs, and a second stage in which the first outputs are combined by a second adaptive mode.

  • Publication number: 20150363930
    Abstract: A method is presented to obtain, from a retinal image, data characterizing the optic cup, such as data indicating the location and/or size of the optic cup in relation to the optic disc. A disc region of the retinal image of an eye, is expressed as a weighted sum of a plurality of pre-existing “reference” retinal images in a library, with the weights being chosen to minimize a cost function. The data characterizing the cup of the eye is obtained from cup data associated with the pre-existing disc images and the corresponding weights. The cost function includes (i) a construction error term indicating a difference between the disc region of the retinal image and a weighted sum of the reference retinal images, and (ii) a cost term, which may be generated using a weighted sum over the reference retinal images of a difference between the reference retinal images and the disc region of the retinal image.

  • Publication number: 20150187070
    Abstract: A method is proposed for automatically locating the optic disc or the optic cup in an image of the rear of an eye. A portion of the image containing the optic disc or optic cup is divided into sub-regions using a clustering algorithm. Biologically inspired features, and optionally other features, are obtained for each of the sub-regions. An adaptive model uses the features to generate data indicative of whether each sub-region is within or outside the optic disc or optic cup. The result is then smoothed, to form an estimate of the position of the optic disc or optic cup.

  • Publication number: 20150125052
    Abstract: A method is proposed for automatically analysing a retina image, to identify the presence of drusen which is indicative of age-related macular degeneration. The method proposes dividing a region of interest including the macula centre into patches, obtaining a local descriptor of each of the patches, reducing the dimensionality of the local descriptor by comparing the local descriptor to a tree-like clustering model and obtaining transformed data indicating the identity of the cluster. The transformed data is fed into an adaptive model which generates data indicative of the presence of drusen in the retinal image. Furthermore, the trans formed data can be used to obtain the location of the drusen within the image.
