About DRISHTI-GS1
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. CAD algorithms for segmenting the optic disc (OD) and cup (OC) have been proposed. Benchmarking these algorithms on a variety of datasets is essential to establish their robustness as well as effectiveness.
Drishti-GS is a dataset meant for validation of segmenting OD, cup and detecting notching. The images in the Drishti-GS dataset have been collected and annotated by Aravind Eye hospital, Madurai, India. This dataset is of a single population as all subjects whose eye images are part of this dataset are Indians.
The dataset is divided into two: a training set and a testing set of images. Training images (50) are provided with groundtruths for OD and Cup segmentation and notching information. Further details please refer to the paper.
The testing set has 51 images for which ground truth is available only upon registration.
