However, existing automated detection systems often suffer from weak boundary delineation, dataset variability, and unstable feature learning, which limit their generalizability and clinical reliability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to develop a unified and anatomically guided framework for accurate and reliable automated glaucoma detection from fundus images.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proposed pipeline begins with contrast-enhanced preprocessing to improve image quality, followed by an Attention-guided Multi-scale Edge-aware Segmentation Network (AME-SegNet) for precise segmentation of the optic disc and optic cup. Both deep convolutional features and clinically relevant geometric features are extracted and optimized using Bitterling Colony Optimization (BCO) to select the most discriminative attributes. A Convolutional Transformer (CT) is then employed to integrate local convolutional representations with global attention mechanisms for robust classification. Additionally, the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) is used for automatic parameter tuning to ensure stable convergence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experimental evaluation demonstrates high segmentation performance with Dice scores of 97.36% for the optic disc and 96.72% for the optic cup on the Drishti-GS1 dataset.
