Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the most common retinal syndromes that occurs in elderly people. Different eye testing techniques such as fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used to clinically examine the ARMD-affected patients. Many researchers have worked on detecting ARMD from fundus images, few of them also worked on detecting ARMD from OCT images. However, there are only few systems that establish the correspondence between fundus and OCT images to give an accurate prediction of ARMD pathology. In this paper, we present fully automated decision support system that can automatically detect ARMD by establishing correspondence between OCT and fundus imagery. The proposed system also distinguishes between early, suspect and confirmed ARMD by correlating OCT B-scans with respective region of the fundus image. In first phase, proposed system uses different B-scan based features along with support vector machine (SVM) to detect the presence of drusens and classify it as ARMD or normal case. In case input OCT scan is classified as ARMD, region of interest from corresponding fundus image is considered for further evaluation. The analysis of fundus image is performed using contrast enhancement and adaptive thresholding to detect possible drusens from fundus image and proposed system finally classified it as early stage ARMD or advance stage ARMD. The proposed system is tested on local data set of 100 patients with100 fundus images and 6800 OCT B-scans. Proposed system detects ARMD with the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity ratings of 98.0, 100, and 97.14%, respectively.
