METHOD OF CREATING AND PROCESSING A COLOR IMAGE OF AN IRIDOCORNEAL REGION OF AN EYE AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

The method of creating and processing a color image of an iridocorneal region of an eye includes the preliminary step of calibrating a pair of a color image detector device and a color illuminator device; and the examination steps of: detecting the color image through the detector device including a bi-dimensional array of pixels, wherein the color image is in a color space defined by three color dimensions, selecting a sub-image within the detected image corresponding to a region of interest, computing a statistic parameter of the selected sub-image, wherein the statistic parameter is selected from the group including an average value, a variance value, a minimum value, a maximum value, a skewness value, a kurtosis index value, a distribution, and a distribution gradient of a color component, determining an indicator based on the statistic parameter through a statistical classifier, and providing the indicator as an examination result.
