With recent advancements in artificial intelligence, fundus diseases can be classified automatically for early diagnosis, and this is an interest of many researchers. The study aims to detect the edges of the optic cup and the optic disc of fundus images taken from glaucoma patients, which has further applications in the analysis of the cup-to-disc ratio (CDR). We apply a modified U-Net model architecture on various fundus datasets and use segmentation metrics to evaluate the model. We apply edge detection and dilation to post-process the segmentation and better visualize the optic cup and optic disc. Our model results are based on ORIGA, RIM-ONE v3, REFUGE, and Drishti-GS datasets. Our results show that our methodology obtains promising segmentation efficiency for CDR analysis.
