Abstract
Detection of optic disc area is complex because it is located in an area that is considered as pathological blood vessels when in segmentation and thus require a method to detect the area of the optic disc, this paper proposed the optic disc segmentation using a method that has not been used before, and this method is very simple, K-means clustering is a proposed Method in this paper to detect the optic disc area with perfected using adaptive morphology. This paper successfully detect optic disc area quickly and segmented blood vessels more quickly.
