Image analysis of the normal human retinal vasculature using fractal geometry

چکیده
Introduction Over the past few decades, various methods have been proposed in the image analysis of human retinal vascular network that offer new techniques to evaluate different aspects of retinal vascular topography (Kyriacos et al 1997; Saine & Tyler 2002; Ţălu 2005; Losa et al 2005; Patton et al 2006; Ţălu et al 2009; Jastrow 2010; Holz & Spaide 2010; Abramoff et al 2010; Ştefănuţ et al 2010; Ţălu et al 2011; Ţălu 2011b).

A study on dimensions of Fractal geometry in Iranian architecture
The subject of geometry and proportions has been regarded as an issue which has a close relationship with architecture. Since the entire universe, living beings and the human geometry can be seen clearly, that’s why our unconscious essence has accustomed to these proportions whereby reflection of this mentality can be seen in the architect’s hands and thought in the architecture. It can witness...

Geometric shapes and motifs are a combination of the human spiritual mind which sees the existence of beautiful and paints a historical civilization through this vision. The geometric motifs are an expression of the rhythmic and balanced human beings possessions when the human being wants to imagine beyond the present and create a world full of love. The patterns/shapes are the basis of artwork...
متن کاملEffect of image quality, color, and format on the measurement of retinal vascular fractal dimension.
PURPOSE Fractal dimension of retinal vasculature is a global summary measure of retinal vascular network pattern and geometry. This study was conducted to examine the effect of variations in image color, brightness, focus, contrast, and format on the measurement of retinal vascular fractal dimension. METHODS A set of 30 retinal images from the Blue Mountains Eye Study was used for a series of...

AIM To investigate and quantify changes in the branching patterns of the retina vascular network in diabetes using the fractal analysis method. METHODS This was a clinic-based prospective study of 172 participants managed at the Ophthalmological Clinic of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between January 2012 and December 2013. A set of 172 segmented and skeletonized human retinal images, corresponding t...
متن کاملFractal analysis of the vascular tree in the human retina.
The retinal circulation of the normal human retinal vasculature is statistically self-similar and fractal. Studies from several groups present strong evidence that the fractal dimension of the blood vessels in the normal human retina is approximately 1.7. This is the same fractal dimension that is found for a diffusion-limited growth process, and it may have implications for the embryological d...
