Abstract

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease which damages the retina and causes visual impairment. Detecting those in the early stages at most risk of progression will allow more timely treatment and preserve sight. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based method to detect AMD and distinguish the different stages using choroidal images obtained from optical coherence tomography (OCT). We extract texture features using a Gabor filter bank and non-linear energy transformation. Then the histogram based feature descriptors are used to train the random forests, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and neural networks, which are tested on our choroid OCT image dataset with 21 participants. The experimental results show the feasibility of our method.
