Abstract


Brückner Test is an important eye exam by witch it is possible to diagnose eye diseases early. This work presents a method to detect the presence of eye pathology based on images, using Haralick descriptors for texture analysis of the reflex and machine learning to classify normal and pathological cases. The proposed method reaches 91% accuracy, 90.9% sensibility and 91.14% specificity by using the REPTree classifier.
