A Novel Approach for Early Recognition of Cataract using VGG-16 and Custom User-based Region of Interest

Published: 14 March 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Cataract is a severe eye disease and is one of the main causes of vision impairment across the world. There have been many researches about cataract prediction using machine and deep learning state-of-the-art methods but all of these methods rely on automatic image classification without using the knowledge of the clinicians. This study proposes a novel approach that incorporates artificial intelligence with the human intelligence of experienced medical professionals. Our model allows manual selection of the region in the fundus image that is most likely to have cataract and gives it more importance as compared to the rest of the region in the image. After that, a VGG-16 model was applied to classify the input images. Accuracy was chosen as the performance metric and the maximum accuracy observed for the model was 98.83%.
