Retinal Images Analyzer †

A software application is presented, for the detection and measurement of retinal vessels in fundoscopy images. This software is comprised by a measurement module and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) module. The measurement module employs image processing methods and operates in batch mode, to segment retinal vessels in the input image. In addition, the measurement module estimates the diameters of the imaged vessels along their spatial extent in the image, based on the above segmentation. The user interface module provides methods for the automatic and interactive measurement of vessel diameters at points and regions of interest. Moreover, it provides methods for editing the vessel representation, in order to recover from segmentation errors. These two modules are integrated into a medical application. In turn, this application increases the automation of a number of vessel measurement protocols, which are of interest to medical professionals.
