Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment can, however, slow the progression of the disease. Specialists making this diagnosis rely on several tests and examinations such as visual field tests and examinations of retinal images and optical coherence tomography images. One of the regions examined by specialists when checking for retinal conditions is the optic nerve head region, which is the brightest region in retinal images. Within this region, the ratio between the cup and the disc can be used when diagnosing for glaucoma. Calculating the cup–disc ratio requires the segmentation of both the disc and the cup from retinal images. In a previous paper, a method for segmenting the disc was proposed. Here another deep learning model, H-OCS, is proposed for segmenting the cup from retinal images. A customized InceptionV3 model with transfer learning and image augmentation is used. Additionally, the output of H-OCS is refined and enhanced using a series of post-processing steps. H-OCS is tested on six publicly available datasets: RimOneV3, Drishti, Messidor, Refuge, Riga, and Magrebia and several ablation studies are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Additionally, the performance of H-OCS is compare with other studies. An overall average accuracy of 97.86%, DC of 88.37%, Sensitivity of 89.09% and IoU of 79.66% was achieved.
