A Hue-Value Method for Semi-Automated Assessment of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy [PDF]
Contact Lens and Anterior EyeLid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a marker of an abnormal lid/cornea interaction. This study proposes an automated Hue-Value grading algorithm of LWE staining following manual selection of the region of interest.Images of LWE staining were processed using Hue and Value from HSV (Hue-Saturation-Value) color space with a custom MATLAB program.
