Glaucoma is an eye disease which damages the optic nerve that carries information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma is the second foremost reason of blindness. An efficient hardware based implementation of glaucoma screening is a significant task in the automated retinal image analysis method. This paper presents an automatic glaucoma screening using a TMS320C6416DSK DSP board. The detection procedure consists of two stages. The first stage comprises of image pre-processing and detection of optic nerve head center using circular Hough Transform .In the second stage, the optic disk diameter is calculated and cup is segmented from disk. The proposition between disk and cup is calculated for abnormal image screening. The implemented technique is tested on a publicly available retinal image data sets and the average accuracy achieved is 97.5%.
