Abstract

The development of the image classification techniques using deep learning has become one of the interesting research fields. It can be used in several fields such as the diagnosis of the corneal diseases. This paper proposes a Convolutional neural network – Long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) model that can classifies the corneal images into normal and abnormal cases. The experimental results reveal that the CNN-LSTM neural network model provides a high performance. This model combines convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). The target of this combination is to extract complex features from the corneal images with a few number of layers rather than Convolutional neural networks. The proposed technique is carried out on a set of corneal images. These images are collected from patients via confocal microscopy.  The CNN-LSTM classification results on corneal fundus images achieved an accuracy of 100 %.
