| Summary: | Light-emitting electronic devices are widely used at present, and this increases the risk of myopia. Thus, the early identification of myopia and the prevention of further exacerbation has become an essential issue in ophthalmology. Recently, choroidal imaging has been used to assist in the early identification and prevention of high myopia due to the fact that swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is an essential diagnostic tool in ophthalmology. This study presents a novel method to judge high myopia using the SS-OCT image dataset obtained from a university hospital. In order to relate the proposed method to the region of the SS-OCT image, the curvature analysis of an arbitrary segmented curve similar to the region of the SS-OCT is first illustrated by quadratic functions and matrix operations. Next, the curvature formula is derived and then applied to the choroidal curve obtained manually in each patient’s choroidal image. In particular, we applied the curvature analysis and its results to find the maximal curvature and average curvature of each patient’s choroidal curve. Finally, we used the maximal curvature and average curvature to evaluate high myopia. The accuracy of the proposed maximal curvature method and average curvature method in the experimental results to verify the proposed method. |
