Abstract

Ultra-High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography is a novel imaging technology that allows non-invasive, high speed, cellular resolution imaging of anatomical structures in the human eye, including the retina and the cornea. A three-dimensional study of the cornea, for example, requires the segmentation and mutual alignment of a large number of two-dimensional images. Such segmentation has, until now, only been undertaken by hand for individual two-dimensional images; this paper presents a method for automated segmentation, opening substantial opportunities for 3D corneal imaging and analysis, using many hundreds of 2D slices.
