Návrh a realizace programu pro segmentaci a automatizovanou analýzu makulárních lézí

Abstract

Age related macular degeneration is one of the most challenging eye dissease which is cause of blindness of people older than 60 years. Exsudative form of AMD is more difficult form nevertheless there are therapeutic methods for stopping its progression, Different form of the disease is dry form which is not possible to treat – the only way to influence its progression is using vitamins for proper cell metabolism. Special focus is now on new segmentation methods which can help physicians to evaluate stage of the disease and how to treat it. This thesis is focusing on development of segmentation of AMD in clinical pictures using parametric active contours. Segmented picture is evaluated to get the information about lesion.
