Titel
Automatic corneal tissue classification using bag-of-visual-words approaches
Abstract
Corneal confocal microscopy is a promising diagnostic method for peripheral neuropathy. It allows the recording of the sub-basal nerve plexus (SNP) and enables the morphological analysis of peripheral nerves. This work evaluates classification models for real-time evaluation of cornea images in order to find suitable methods for an automatic focus adaptation to the SNP. The analyzed Bag-of-Visual-Words method leads to models with an accuracy of 0.9, even on a small training dataset, and a runtime of 18 ms per image. Furthermore, the analysis of the support vector machine real-valued output shows high potential for the implementation of real-time focus optimization methods.
