A multistep segmentation algorithm for vessel extraction in medical imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main contribution of this paper is to propose an iterative procedure for tubular structure segmentation of 2D images, which combines tight frame of Curvelet transforms with a SURE technique thresholding which is based on principle obtained by minimizing Stein Unbiased Risk Estimate for denoising. This proposed algorithm is mainly based on the TFA proposal presented in [1, 9], which we use eigenvectors of Hessian matrix of image for improving this iterative part in segmenting unclear and narrow vessels and filling the gap between separate pieces of detected vessels. The experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

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...

Vessel extraction is a fundamental step in certain medical imaging applications such as angiograms. Different methods are available to segment vessels in medical images, but they are not fully automated (initial vessel points are required) or they are very sensitive to noise in the image. Unfortunately, the presence of noise, the variability of the background, and the low and varying contrast o...
