It includes quality prediction, fovea and optic disc center localization, image registration, blood vessel segmentation, and fundus cropping functions. It also provides a collection of useful utilities for image manipulation and image-based PyTorch models. The toolbox has been designed to be flexible and easy to use, thus helping to speed up research pipelines. All tools can be installed as a whole or individually, depending on the user's needs. \autoref{fig:example} illustrates main functionalities. Find the toolbox at [github.com/berenslab/fundus_image_toolbox](https://github.com/berenslab/fundus_image_toolbox). +The Fundus Image Toolbox is an open source Python suite of tools for working with retinal fundus images.

Consequently, there is a large amount of research on machine learning for fundus image analysis. However, many of the works do not publish their source code, and very few of them provide ready-to-use open source tools to the community.
