Dua co-edits book on computational analysis of human eye
Dr. Sumeet Dua, the Upchurch Endowed Professor of Computer Science and coordinator of information technology research at Louisiana Tech University, has co-edited a new book on computational modeling methods that can help ophthalmologists develop innovative computer systems to provide critical support and better care options for patients.
According to Dua, the speed at which data on eye disorders such as cataracts and glaucoma are collected can make it impossible for the human observer to directly monitor subtle, yet critical details. “Computational Analysis of the Human Eye with Applications” presents students and practitioners with computational image modeling methods as they are applied to many of these scientific problems in ophthalmology.
“Diseases of the human eye can affect a wide variety of people and early and precise diagnosis is critical to ensure that vision loss is prevented in due time,” said Dua. “This bo
