High resolution and functional retinal imaging

The purpose of this proposal is to develop novel technology for optical imaging of the eye, as well as novel computer algorithms toward the automated analysis of this data. The first part of the proposal concentrates on the development of algorithms that will remove motion artifact from images of the retina, the light sensitive back of the eye. Additional computer algorithms will be developed to segment the retinal blood vessels, which are important diagnostic indicators for diseases causing vision loss. The second part of the proposal will investigate a novel optical design for high resolution imaging of the retina, and build on the motion correction and segmentation algorithms developed in the first part, but implemented for the characteristics of the high resolution images.
