Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
acquiring a series of digital images generated by a retinal camera in rapid succession;
applying a detection model to the series of digital images to produce a series of outputs,
wherein each output in the series of outputs corresponds to a digital image in the series of digital images, and
wherein each output identifies digital features in the corresponding digital image that may be representative of artifacts;

comparing the series of outputs produced by the detection model such that each digital feature is classified as being representative of either an artifact or a pathological feature; and
generating a notification that specifies whether any digital features have been classified as being representative of artifacts, wherein
the notification includes
an instruction to clean a lens of the retinal camera to remove a physical element adhered to the lens of the retinal camera, or
an instruction to employ a filter to mitigate an effect of an optical aberration from the image.
