Abstract

In this study, spectral images of 66 human retinas were collected. These spectral images were measured in vivo from 54 voluntary diabetic patients and 12 control subjects using a modified ophthalmic fundus camera system. This system incorporates the optics of a standard fundus microscope, 30 narrow bandpass interference filters ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers at 10 nm intervals, a steady-state broadband lightsource and a monochrome digital charge-coupled device camera. The introduced spectral fundus image database will be expanded in the future with professional annotations and will be made public.
