Glaucoma Detection Using Inception Convolutional Neural Network V3

Glaucoma detection is an important research area in intelligent system and it plays an important role to medical field. Glaucoma can give rise to an irreversible blindness due to lack of proper diagnosis. Doctors need to perform many tests to diagnosis this threatening disease. It requires a lot of time and expense. Sometime affected people may not have any vision loss, at the early stage of glaucoma. For detecting glaucoma, we have built a model to lessen the time and cost. Our work introduces a CNN based Inception V3 model. We used total 6072 images. Among this image 2336 were glaucomatous and 3736 were normal fundus image. For training our model we took 5460 images and for testing we took 612 images. After that we obtained an accuracy of 0.8529 and a value of 0.9387 for AUC. For comparison, we used DenseNet121 and ResNet50 algorithm and got an accuracy of 0.8153 and 0.7761 respectively.
