Optic Disc Segmentation: From Classical Methods to AI in Retinal Analysis

This review paper details the evolution of optic disc segmentation techniques in fundus images, a crucial step for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma. It traces the progression from traditional image processing and deformable models to modern AI-driven methods, including deep learning and Transformer-based approaches. The paper highlights persistent challenges such as boundary ambiguity and domain generalization, while noting the enduring importance of principles like region localization and geometric constraints. AI
