Machine learning derived retinal pigment score from ophthalmic imaging shows ethnicity is not biology by Anand E. Rajesh, Abraham Olvera-Barrios, Alasdair N. Warwick, Yue Wu, Kelsey V. Stuart, Mahantesh I. Biradar, Chuin Ying Ung, Anthony P. Khawaja, Robert Luben, Paul J. Foster, Charles R. Cleland, William U. Makupa, Alastair K. Denniston, Matthew J. Burton, Andrew Bastawrous, Pearse A. Keane, Mark A. Chia, Angus W. Turner, Cecilia S. Lee, Adnan Tufail, Aaron Y. Lee, Catherine Egan, UK Biobank Eye and Vision Consortium

“…We derived a continuous, measured metric, the retinal pigment score (RPS), that quantifies the degree of pigmentation from a colour fundus photograph of the eye. RPS was validated using two large epidemiological studies with demographic and genetic data (UK Biobank and EPIC-Norfolk Study) and reproduced in a Tanzanian, an Australian, and a Chinese dataset. …”

ALGORITHM OF PREPARATION OF THE TRAINING SAMPLE USING 3D-FACE MODELING by D. I. Samal, I. I. Frolov

“…The preparation and preliminary processing of images contains the following constituents like detection and localization of area of the person on the image, assessment of an angle of rotation and an inclination, extension of the range of brightness of pixels and an equalization of the histogram to smooth the brightness and contrast characteristics of the processed images, scaling of the localized and processed area of the person, creation of a vector of features of the scaled and processed image of the person by a Principal component analysis (algorithm NIPALS), training of the multiclass SVM-classifier.The provided algorithm of expansion of the training selection is oriented to be used in practice and allows to expand using 3D-models the processed range of 2D – photographs of persons that positively affects results of identification in system of face recognition. …”
