预计在美国和世界范围内糖尿病的增加已经产生了对糖尿病视网膜病变（DR）的广泛的、廉价的筛查的需求，DR是一种可导致视力损害的眼病。具有视网膜摄像机和自动质量控制、生理特征定位和病变/异常检测的远程医疗网络是实现广泛筛查的低成本方式。在这项工作中，我们报告的质量估计的效果与置信度的视神经（ON）检测方法。我们报告的改进方法使用的数据集从眼科医生的做法，然后显示的结果作为一个功能的图像质量的一组图像从在线远程医疗网络收集在2009年春季和另一个基础广泛的筛选程序的方法。我们表明，融合方法，结合质量估计处理，可以提高检测性能，也提供了一种方法，利用一个医生在循环的图像，可能会超过自动化处理的能力。
The projected increase in diabetes in the United States and worldwide has created a need for broad-based, inexpensive screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR), an eye disease which can lead to vision impairment. A telemedicine network with retina cameras and automated quality control, physiological feature location, and lesion / anomaly detection is a low-cost way of achieving broad-based screening. In this work we report on the effect of quality estimation on an optic nerve (ON) detection method with a confidence metric. We report on an improvement of the method using a data set from an ophthalmologist practice then show the results of the method as a function of image quality on a set of images from an on-line telemedicine network collected in Spring 2009 and another broad-based screening program. We show that the fusion method, combined with quality estimation processing, can improve detection performance and also provide a method for utilizing a physician-in-the-loop for images that may exceed the capabilities of automated processing.
