Abstract EN
The cornea is the front of the eye.
Its inner cell layer, called the endothelium, is important because it is closely related to the light transparency of the cornea.
An in vivo observation of this layer is performed by using specular microscopy to evaluate the health of the cells: a high spatial density will result in a good transparency.
Thus, the main criterion required by ophthalmologists is the cell density of the cornea endothelium, mainly obtained by an image segmentation process.
Different methods can perform the image segmentation of these cells, and the three most performing methods are studied here.
The question for the ophthalmologists is how to choose the best algorithm and to obtain the best possible results with it.
This paper presents a methodology to compare these algorithms together.
Moreover, by the way of geometric dissimilarity criteria, the algorithms are tuned up, and the best parameter values are thus proposed to the expert ophthalmologists.
