Automatic Retinal Vessel Segmentation
Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common cause of blindness in the working population of the western world and is very common among people who suffer from diabetes. Fortunately, during a clinical examination an ophthalmologist is able to determine the onset of the disease by taking certain features of the retinal vessels of the fundus into account. These features include the narrowing of vessels...
متن کاملVessel Segmentation in Retinal Images Using Graph-Theoretical Vessel Tracking
This paper presents a method for automatic segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images. The method is based on vessel tracking technique. The key idea of the method is that first a set of seed points (center of vessel cross sections) is extracted. Then, the seed points are connected to establish the vessel skeleton. Finally, the false vessel point are rejected by resorting to a hypothesis-v...
متن کاملExtracting Vessel Centerlines From Retinal Images Using Topographical Properties and Directional Filters
In this paper we consider the problem of blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. After enhancing the retinal image we use green channel of images for segmentation as it provides better discrimination between vessels and background. We consider the negative of retinal green channel image as a topographical surface and extract ridge points on this surface. The points with this property are l...
متن کاملContinuous retinal vessel diameter measurements: the future in retinal vessel assessment?
PURPOSE To establish an alternative method, sequential and diameter response analysis (SDRA), to determine dynamic retinal vessel responses and their time course in serial stimulation compared with the established method of averaged diameter responses and standard static assessment. METHODS SDRA focuses on individual time and diameter responses, taking into account the fluctuation in baseline...
متن کاملReliability of retinal vessel calibre measurements using a retinal oximeter
BACKGROUND Summarised retinal vessel diameters are linked to systemic vascular pathology. Monochromatic images provide best contrast to measure vessel calibres. However, when obtaining images with a dual wavelength oximeter the red-free image can be extracted as the green channel information only which in turn will reduce the number of photographs taken at a given time. This will reduce patient...
