Abstract:
1. A computing system for enhancing a retinal image, the computing system comprising: one or more hardware computer processors; and one or more storage devices configured to store software instructions configured for execution by the one or more hardware computer processors in order to cause the computing system to: access a medical retinal image for enhancement, the medical retinal image related to a subject; compute a median filtered image I determine whether intensity at a first pixel location in the medical retinal image I(x,y) is lower than intensity at a same position in the median filtered image I if the intensity at the first pixel location is lower, then set a value at the first pixel location in the enhanced image to a value around a middle of a minimum and a maximum intensity value for the medical retinal image C and if the intensity at the first pixel location is not lower, then set a value at the first pixel location in the enhanced image to a sum of around the middle of the minimum and the maximum intensity value for the medical retinal image, C wherein the enhanced image is used to infer or further analyze, a medical condition of the subject.
