Identification of layers in a tomographic image of an eye based on the canny edge detection

Abstract

In the paper we present an algorithm for the identification of retina layers using the Canny edge detection for images obtained with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Copernicus. The developed algorithm is an extension of the approaches covered in [4] and allows the identification and detection of hyaline-retinal border layers, the retina and other. The algorithm was implemented in the Matlab environment and the C language. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
