N2 - This work presents a methodology for detecting human retina images suspect of glaucoma based on the measurement of displacement of the vascular bundle caused by the growth of the excavation or cup. The results achieved are due to the relative increase in size of the cup or excavation that causes a displacement of the blood vessel bundle to the superior, inferior and nasal optic disc areas. The method consists of the segmentation of the optic disc contour and the vascular bundle located within it, and calculation of its displacement from its normal position using the chessboard metric. The method was successful in 62 images of a total of 67, achieving an accuracy of 93.02% of sensitivity and 91.66% of specificity in the pre-diagnosis.
