A color fusion model based on Markowitz portfolio optimization for optic disc segmentation in retinal images

作者:

Highlights:

• Optic disc is achieved without considering vasculature segmentation pipeline.

• Markowitz weights for color component yield the maximal ratio between μ and σ.

• Only optic disc image mosaic is sufficient to train Markowitz model.

• Color fusion model is complemented with straightforward segmentation algorithms.

• Markowitz model no-need special hardware, being accessible to clinical applications.
