Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2010:2010:4817-20. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2010.5627901.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness with permanent damage to optic nerve head. ARGALI is an automated computer-aided diagnosis system designed for glaucoma detection via optic cup-to-disc ratio assessment. It employs several methods to determine the optic cup and disc from retinal images.
