Abstract

A retinography is a retinal photography useful for the precise tracking of any retinal pathology, especially the glaucoma. Although there are sophisticated procedures for studying the evolution of the optic nerve, sometimes it is not feasible the development of a rigorous tracking due to the high number of patients, the high cost of the procedure and the need of high qualified staff. The design of an automated method for detecting this pathology in its first stages through the automated analysis of retinographies could reduce the cost of the process and the number of required specialists. Inspired by this objective, an automated preprocessing method for retinographies is presented in this paper. The proposed methodology combines information of different color spaces for achieving illumination and contrast enhancement.
