On the Automatic 2D Retinal Vessel Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retinal vessel extraction has become an important task of medical image processing applications in order to diagnose ocular diseases. In this paper, a novel methodology is proposed to extract vessels automatically from retinal angiographies. The proposed methodology has been implemented by means of Cellular Neural Networks techniques to take advantage of their capabilities of massively parallel processing reducing computation time required.

Extracting 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...

In this paper, a new unsupervised algorithm for automatic retinal blood vessel extraction is presented. A pre-processing step is introduced to eliminating optic disk and back ground noise. Blood vessel highlighting is prepared by a new method inspired by simple cells in human visual system. An adaptive threshold is introduced as an activation function of simple cells. Post-processing step is us...

Retinal image analysis is an active field of research for identifying different types of diseases that affect the Retina. The extraction and analysis of retinal vasculature is an essential part of several practical applications such as detection of hypertension, Diabetic Retinopathy, stroke and cardiovascular diseases that affects eye. The proposed method consists of four stages: In the first s...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of multiple oriented blood vessels in retinal images
Automatic segmentation of the vasculature in retinal images is important in the detection of diabetic retinopathy that affects the morphology of the blood vessel tree. In this paper, a hybrid method for efficient segmentation of multiple oriented blood vessels in colour retinal images is proposed. Initially, the appearance of the blood vessels are enhanced and background noise is suppressed wit...
متن کاملPre-Processing Steps for Segmentation of Retinal Blood Vessels
Segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images is an important part in retinal image analysis for diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases for large screening systems. In this paper, we addressed the problem of background and noise extraction from retinal images. Blood vessels usually have central light reflex and poor local contrast, hence the results yield by blood vessel segmentation algorit...
