An intelligent strabismus detection method based on convolution neural network

Abstract

Strabismus is one of the widespread vision disorders in which the eyes are misaligned and asymmetric. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are properly designed for analyzing images and detecting texture patterns. In this paper, we proposed a system that uses deep learning CNN applications for automatically detecting and classifying strabismus disorder. The proposed system includes two main stages: first, the detection of facial eye segmentation using the viola-jones algorithm. The second stage is to map the segmented eye area according to the iris position of each eye. This method is applied to three strabismus datasets, gathered as digital images. The second section covers the segmentation of the eye region. Besides, the evaluation equations for measuring system performance. The system has undergone numerous experiments in various stages to simulate and analyze the detection performance of CNN layers through different classifiers and variant thresholds ratio. The researchers investigated the experimental outcomes during the training and testing phases and obtained promising results that exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed system. According to the results, the accuracy of this technique reached 95.62%.
