Original Abstract

The texture analysis of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in colour fundus images is a promising tool for early glau-coma diagnosis. This paper describes model-based method for detection of changes in the RNFL. The method utilizes Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRF) and the least-square error (LSE) estimate for the local RNFL texture modelling. The model parameters are used as a texture fea-tures and non-linear classifier based on the Bayesian rule is used for classification of healthy and glaucomatous RNFL tissue. The proposed features are tested in the sense of clas-sification errors and also they are applied for segmentation of RNFL defects in high-resolution colour fundus-camera images. The results are also compared with the Optical Co-herence Tomography images regarded as a gold standard for our application due to the possibility of RNFL thickness measurement.
