Optic cup and optic disc segmentation using improved selfish gene algorithm / Norharyati Md Ariff

Glaucoma is a disease that is defined by the pressure increased with the eyeball, causing severe damage to the optic nerve. One of the symptoms in glaucoma disease detection is an increased fluid pressure, which in the long term will damage the eye's optic nerve and it may in the worst case lea...
