Adaptive enhancement of cataractous retinal images for contrast standardization
Cataract affects the quality of fundus images, especially the contrast, due to lens opacity. In this paper, we propose a scheme to enhance different cataractous retinal images to the same contrast as normal im...

Lens opacity detection for serious posterior subcapsular cataract
Cataract leads to visual impairment. Among different types of cataract, posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) can develop rapidly and surgery is usually needed. An approach to detect PSC opacities in retro-illu...
