Texture and Color Analysis for the Automatic Classification of the Eye Lipid Layer

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6692))

Abstract

This paper describes a methodology for the automatic classification of the eye lipid layer based on the categories enumerated by Guillon [1]. From a photography of the eye, the system detects the region of interest where the analysis will take place, extracts its low-level features, generates a feature vector that describes it and classifies the feature vector in one of the target categories. We have tested our methodology on a dataset composed of 105 images, with a classification rate of over 90%.
