Abstract :
Building an anterior virtual model based on anterior OCT images plays an important role in angle-closure glaucoma pathology, clinic and treatment. According to special features of anterior OCT images and the structure of the anterior, a series of methods are proposed to implement automatic extraction of the anterior chamber contour in OCT images. These methods were applied to anterior OCT image sequences, and the results proved that different eye tissues could be segmented from the foreground image and the anterior chamber contour could be well extracted.
