Automatic detection of spontaneous venous pulsations using retinal image sequences

Abstract

This paper proposes a method of automated detection and parameterization of spontaneous venous pulsation using raw video data acquired from retinal video-ophthalmoscope. Evaluation of magnitude of spontaneous venous pulsation has been proven to correlate with occurrence of glaucoma. Based on this relation a method is proposed that might help to detect glaucoma via detection of spontaneous venous pulsation.
