Abstract
A method for automatically measuring changes in retinal, retinal pigment epithelial, or choroidal disease includes retrieving a set of images of a fundus and selecting a plurality of images from the set of images. The plurality of images are co-registered and pre-processed such that the quality, contrast, and gain of each of the plurality of images is made similar. Then, a comparison is made between the plurality of images to determine a change in retinal, retinal pigment epithelial, or choroidal disease, wherein the change in retinal, retinal pigment epithelial, or choroidal disease is determined based on various disease metrics. Finally, an indication of the change in retinal, retinal pigment epithelial, or choroidal disease is generated for display to a user on a computing device.
