Title: Auto-detection of Optic Disc in Retinal Image using Transfer Learning Technique
Abstract: The structure of the optic disc is impacted by the devastating eye disease glaucoma. Most doctors rely on viewing and screening the retinal fundus images to detect it. Identifying the optic disc is a crucial stage for automated diagnosis of glaucoma. This study presents a transfer learning-based approach to locate the optic disc in the retinal fundus image. The fundus images are categorized into four distinct classes according to the positions of optic disc to learn the in-depth specific features.Based on the YOLOv3 model, the optic disc detection method is then fine-tuned using the specialised image dataset. The model involved is trained and evaluated on 2178 retinal fundus images obtained from database at a nearby hospital and publically accessible datasets. In 2103 of the retinal fundus images, the suggested approach successfully detected the optical disc, yielding an average accuracy of 96.56%.
