β¦ Synopsis
This work examined recent literature on digital image processing in the field of diabetic retinopathy. Algorithms were categorized into 5 steps (preprocessing; localization and segmentation of the optic disk; segmentation of the retinal vasculature; localization of the macula and fovea; localization and segmentation of retinopathy). The variety of outcome measures, use of a gold standard or ground truth, data sample sizes and the use of image databases is discussed. It is intended that our classification of algorithms into a small number of categories, definition of terms and discussion of evolving techniques will provide guidance to algorithm designers for diabetic retinopathy.

Many screening methods are available for detecting diabetic retinopathy. However, once patients develop retinopathy, it is unclear as to what method should be used for their review. We describe a novel and integrated system for the screening and treatment of diabetic retinopathy using high street op
Image processing algorithms useful for the optical monitoring of eye movements have been developed and evaluated. Specifically, algorithms have been developed which track the positions of moving convex targets. Three search strategies are considered which make varying use of a priori knowledge of ta
