Abstract :
Approximate Nearest-Neighbour Field has been an area of interest in recent research for a wide variety of topics in graphics and multimedia community. Medical image processing is a relatively unaffected field by these developments in ANNF computations, brought about by various extremely efficient algorithms like PatchMatch. In this paper, we use Generalized PatchMatch for Optic Disk detection, in retinal images, and show that by making use of efficient ANNF computations we are able to generate results with 98% accuracy with an average time of 0.5 sec. This is significantly faster than conventional Optic Disk detection methods, which average at 95-97% accuracy with 3-5 sec average computation time.
