Automatic Diagnosis of Strabismus in Digital Videos through Cover Test

Strabismus is a condition in which the line of sight of one eye does not fixate on the object upon which both eyes are focused [1]. That is, while one of the eyes focuses on the object, the other eye focuses toward another direction, generating a misalignment of the ocular muscles in relation to the eye focus at the frontal point. This anomaly can be classified according to the focus direction in which the deviated eye points, which can be either manifest or latent. The former is identified by simply looking at the patient; the latter requires tests to obtain the diagnosis.
