Glaucoma is one of the common causes of blindness worldwide. It leads to deterioration in vision and quality of life if it is not cured early. This paper addresses the feasibility of developing an automatic feature learning technique for detecting gl... Read More about Automated glaucoma diagnosis using deep learning approach.

Fast blur detection and parametric deconvolution of retinal fundus images (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, B. M., Al-Bander, B., Pratt, H., Lawman, S., Zhao, Y., Zheng, Y., & Shen, Y. (2017, September). Fast blur detection and parametric deconvolution of retinal fundus images. Presented at International Workshop, FIFI 2017, and 4th International Workshop, OMIA 2017, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2017, Québec City, QC, Canada

Blur is a significant problem in medical imaging which can hinder diagnosis and prevent further automated or manual processing. The problem of restoring an image from blur degradation remains a challenging task in image processing. Semi-blind deblurr...
