• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a two-stage framework that first detects and localizes optic disc and then classifies it into healthy or glaucomatous. The first stage is based on RCNN and is responsible for localizing and extracting optic disc from a retinal fundus image. The second stage uses Deep CNN to classify the extracted disc into healthy or glaucomatous.

• Abstract: With the advancement of powerful image processing and machine learning techniques, CAD has become ever more prevalent in all fields of medicine including ophthalmology. Since optic disc is the most important part of retinal fundus image for glaucoma detection, this paper proposes a two-stage framework that first detects and localizes optic disc and then classifies it into healthy or glaucomatous. The first stage is based on RCNN and is responsible for localizing and extracting optic disc from a retinal fundus image while the second stage uses Deep CNN to classify the extracted disc into healthy or glaucomatous. In addition to the proposed solution, we also developed a rule-based semi-automatic ground truth generation method that provides necessary annotations for training RCNN based model for automated disc localization. The proposed method is evaluated on seven publicly available datasets for disc localization and on ORIGA dataset, which is the largest publicly available dataset for glaucoma classification. The results of automatic localization mark new state-of-the-art on six datasets with accuracy reaching 100% on four of them. For glaucoma classification we achieved AUC equal to 0.874 which is 2.7% relative improvement over the state-of-the-art results previously obtained for classification on ORIGA. Once trained on carefully annotated data, Deep Learning based methods for optic disc detection and localization are not only robust, accurate and fully automated but also eliminates the need for dataset-dependent heuristic algorithms. Our empirical evaluation of glaucoma classification on ORIGA reveals that reporting only AUC, for datasets with class imbalance and without pre-defined train and test splits, does not portray true picture of the classifier's performance and calls for additional performance metrics to substantiate the results.

  The biggest challenge in the application of deep learning to the medical domain is the availability of training data. Data augmentation is a typical methodology used in machine learning when confronted with a limited data set.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
