Abstract
An ocular imaging system comprising: an image acquisition module which acquires a retinal image; a landmark location prediction module which predicts locations of at least two landmarks in the retinal image; and an apparatus for alerting a user to an unreliability in at least one of the predicted locations. The apparatus receives the predicted first locations; uses the predicted locations to evaluate a distance metric indicative of a distance between the landmark features; use data indicative of a probability distribution of a distance between the landmark features obtained from measurements of the distance in retinal images different from the retinal image to determine an indication of whether the evaluated distance metric lies outside a predetermined interval about a peak the probability distribution; and generates an alert indicating the unreliability when the determined indication indicates that the evaluated distance metric lies outside the predetermined interval.
