Popis: Cholesterol is a type of lipid found in the human body and is susceptible to abnormalities. It can be detected via lipid profiling through blood sampling. In addition, cholesterol can be detected through the presence of a "sodium ring" in the eye iris called the corneal arcus (CA), presenting a new preliminary detection method that is less invasive. Therefore, this paper proposed a non-invasive method in detecting cholesterol based on convolutional neural network (CNN) model representation using 300 normal and 300 abnormal iris images from UBIRIS and medical web images. In this work, contrast-limited adaptive histogram (CLAHE) and unsharp masking process was applied first on CA images to enhance the quality of CA images. To detect the CA images, the dataset was trained and tested using three pre-trained CNN architectures; one is created from scratch, another are Resnet-50 and VGG-19 architectures that were fine-tuned to the CA images. The best result was exhibited by proposed pre-trained CNN model created from scratch with 10-fold cross-validation that produced high average detection accuracy at 98.81%. Thus, deeper network implementation is recommended in the future to further improve CA localization for optometrists used in their daily clinical tasks in detecting cholesterol.
