We address this issue as an anomaly detection problem and propose a method that not only allows the classification of the OCT volume, but also allows the identification of the individual diseased B-scans inside the volume. Our approach is based on modeling the appearance of normal OCT images with a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and detecting abnormal OCT images as outliers. The classification of an OCT volume is based on the number of detected outliers. Experimental results with two different datasets show that the proposed method achieves a sensitivity and a specificity of 80 and 93 on the first dataset, and 100 and 80 on the second one. Moreover, the experiments show that the proposed method achieves better classification performance than other recently published works. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd publisher: Elsevier Ireland Ltd date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Sidibé, D. and Sankar, S. and Lemaître, G. and Rastgoo, M. and Massich, J. and Cheung, C.Y. and Tan, G.S.W. and Milea, D. and Lamoureux, E. and Wong, T.Y. and Mériaudeau, F.
