Abstrakt: Glaucoma is the eye defect that has become the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and also stated as incurable, may cause complete vision loss. The earlier diagnosis of glaucoma in Human Eye is a great confrontation and very important in present scenario, for providing efficient and appropriate treatments to the persons. Though there is much advancement in Ocular Imaging that affords methods for earlier detection, the appropriate results can be obtained by integrating the data from structural and functional evaluations. With that note, this paper involves in developing automated technique for glaucomatous image classification and diagnosis (AT-GICD). The model considers both the textural and energy features for effectively diagnosing the defect. Image Segmentation is processed for obtaining the exact area of optic nerve head; histogram gradient based conversion is employed for enhancing the fundus image features. Further, Wavelet Energy features are extracted and applied to the artificial neural networks (ANN) for classifying the NORMAL and GLAUCOMA images. The Accuracy rate based comparison with other existing models is carried out for evidencing the effectiveness of the proposed model in glaucomatous image classification.
