Abstract
The systems and methods described herein relate generally to the detection of retinal abnormalities. More particularly, the systems and methods are used to analyze a fundus or other image of the retina. In some implementations, the image is analyzed by interdependently smoothing and segmenting the image. Using the smoothed and segmented image, retinal features can be identifying in the image. The systems and methods can then analyze the detected retinal features to identify retinal abnormalities.
