Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Regular glaucoma screenings are important because the disorder is irreversible in its advanced stages. In this paper, we use a feature extraction process after pre-processing, where the feature extraction involves feature selection, ranking and sampling. The simulation is conducted on three different datasets to test the efficacy of the feature selection model. The results of simulation shows that the proposed weight based ranking provides an improved feature selection than the existing models.
