Abstract
Screening programs for sight-threatening diseases rely on the grading of a large number of digital retinal images. As automatic image grading technology evolves, there emerges a need to provide a rigorous definition of image quality with reference to the grading task. In this work, on two subsets of the CORD database of clinically gradable and matching non-gradable digital retinal images, a feature set based on statistical and on task-specific morphological features has been identified. A machine learning technique has then been demonstrated to classify the images as per their clinical gradeability, offering a proxy for a rigorous definition of image quality.
