Optic Disc (OD) detection in retinal fundus images is a cru-cial stage for the automation of a screening system in diabetic ophthalmology. Most researches for automatic localization of OD benefit the regions of vessels. In this paper, we present a fast and novel method based on the Circlet Transform to detect OD in digital retinal fundus images that doesn’t utilize the location of the vessels. First, each R, G and B band is enhanced using CLAHE method. Then, the enhanced image in RGB color space is converted to L*a*b one. Next, the Circlet transform is applied to the L* band, and finally, the Circlet transform coefficients are analyzed to find the location of the OD. The proposed algorithm is implemented on DRIVE dataset and the experimental results show a very well OD localization. The correct rate of the proposed method is 95% even though it doesn’t utilize the vessels’ structure.
