Development of Scale Invariant lens Opacity Estimation System using Hough Circle Detection Transform, Normalization and Entropy

Clear eye lens is responsible for correct vision. Ageing effect acquires opacity at lens structure causing foggy or blurred vision. It is termed as cataract. This may become cause of permanent blindness if remain unidentified and untreated. Due to hazards change in environment and adoption of sluggish lifestyle many diseases like cataract are becoming universal challenge for health organization over the world. Lack of medication and diagnosis facility in developing countries makes cataract as savior vision problem. Proposed methodology suggests image processing based, low cost solution for lens opacity or cataract detection. In this system eye lens image from input image is acquired using Iterative Hough circle detection transform. It is normalized using Daugman’s rubber sheet normalization algorithm which makes system scale invariant. Structural variation in normalized lens image is estimated in terms of entropy or mean value. Comparison of right and left half entropies of normalized image is basis for estimation of lens opacity. It is used to detect and categorize lens opacity or cataract. This system easily categorize lens opacity based on structural features of opacity in one of three grades such as “No cataract”, “Cortical cataract” or “Nuclear cataract”.

FISHEYE LENS IMAGE CAPTURE ANALYSIS FOR INDOOR 3D RECONSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION

The following article has as its purpose to solve a series of questions related to the acquisition of fisheye lens images made in the Benchmark FINE, making use of this data and images to generate a reconstruction to the tower of the chapel of San Vigilio in 3D using SFM photogrammetry and its application methodologies using low-cost instruments and sensors such as non-metric digital cameras. The fisheye lens has a wide range of focus and field of view that makes it possible to capture a scene with a limited number of images more quickly and efficiently. An analysis is intended to be carried out on the basis of the results obtained by assessing their accuracy and quality to determine the feasibility in the proposed initial use for the assessment of spaces difficult access by maintaining geometry without distances, scale, defined orientation in images, or ground control points (GPCs).
