| Abstract: | Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and a leading cause of irreversible blind ness, where early detection is essential for preventing vision loss. However, existing automated approaches often suffer from limitations such as loss of spatial relation ships, lack of interpretability, and high computational complexity. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel multi-stage glaucoma detection framework that integrates Capsule Network (CapsNet)-based deep feature extraction with clinically relevant handcrafted features, unified through an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier. The preprocessing stage enhances retinal structures using red-channel extrac tion, contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), filtering, and normal ization. CapsNet effectively preserves spatial dependencies between optic disc and cup regions, while handcrafted features including GLCM texture, color statistics, entropy, and edge information incorporate domain-specific knowledge. The fused feature rep resentation is efficiently classified using ELM, enabling fast and accurate prediction. Additionally, SHAP-based explainability is employed to provide both global and local interpretability of model decisions. Experimental results on the ORIGA dataset demon strate that the proposed framework achieves superior performance, with an accuracy of 91.50%, sensitivity of 90.00%, specificity of 91.44%, and AUC of 0.9065, outperform ing conventional machine learning and deep learning models. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining deep and handcrafted features with an efficient classifier. The proposed approach offers a reliable, interpretable, and computationally efficient solution for automated glaucoma screening in clinical applications. |
