Abstract
Many eye diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, Glaucoma have their symptoms shown in the retina. To detect such diseases, the normal and abnormal retina should be differentiated. The Optic disc has been a prominent landmark for finding abnormalities in the retina. In this paper, we attempted two methods to localize the optic disc using the segmentation which is done on the interference map that is obtained from a family of generalized motion patterns of the image. In brief, we are adding motion to the image so that the bright regions can be extracted well by improving the contrast between the object and its background in the image. Then, the region of interest has been taken and binary image has been generated. In the 1st method, by thresholding, the optic disc has been segmented and its centre has been found. In the second method, the grab cut is used for segmentation. Both of our methods show better results when compared with the competing method.
