A fully automatic nerve segmentation and morphometric parameter quantification system for early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy in corneal images

• A fully automatic, efficient real-time corneal sub-basal nerve segmentation and morphological parameter quantification system is developed.• This system underpins the expertise of ophthalmologists.• A number of useful clinical features that can be used to save a useful amount of clinician ti me in the process.• A new algorithm has been proposed to calculate the average nerve thickness.• An efficient technique is proposed to connect the discontinuous nerves• It is able to trace corneal sub-basal nerves for the early detection and follow up of (DPN) from CCM images.
