Building Gabor Filters from Retinal Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from a biologically inspired framework, Gabor filters were built up from retinal filters via LMSE algorithms. A subset of retinal filter kernels was chosen to form a particular Gabor filter by using a weighted sum. One-dimensional optimization approaches were shown to be inappropriate for the problem. All model parameters were fixed with biological or image processing constraints. Detailed analysis of the optimization procedure led to the introduction of a minimization constraint. Finally, quantization of weighting factors was investigated. This resulted in an optimized cascaded structure of a Gabor filter bank implementation with lower computational cost. Keywords—Gabor filter, image processing, optimization

Detection of Retinal Vascular Bifurcations by Rotation- and Scale-Invariant COSFIRE Filters
The analysis of the vascular tree in retinal fundus images is important for identifying risks of various cardiovascular diseases. We propose trainable COSFIRE (Combination Of Shifted FIlter REsponses) filters to detect vascular bifurcations. A COSFIRE filter is automatically configured to be selective for a bifurcation that is specified by a user from a training image. The configuration selects...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of vascular bifurcations in segmented retinal images using trainable COSFIRE filters
Background: The vascular tree observed in a retinal fundus image can provide clues for cardiovascular diseases. Its analysis requires the identification of vessel bifurcations and crossovers. Methods: We use a set of trainable keypoint detectors that we call Combination Of Shifted FIlter REsponses or COSFIRE filters to automatically detect vascular bifurcations in segmented retinal images. We c...

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 کاملGabor and Log-Gabor Wavelet for Face Recognition
In practice Gabor wavelet is often applied to extract relevant features from a facial image. This wavelet is constructed using filters of multiple scales and orientations. Based on Gabor’s theory of communication, two methods are proposed to acquire initial features from 2D images that are Gabor wavelet and Log-Gabor wavelet. Theoretically the main difference between these two wavelets is Log-G...
