Automatic Retinal Image Registration
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, different automatic registration schemes based on different optimization techniques in conjunction with different similarity measures are compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Results from every optimization procedure are quantitatively evaluated with respect to the manual registration, which is the standard registration method used in clinical practice. The comparison has shown automatic registration schemes based on CD consist of an accurate and reliable method that can be used in clinical ophthalmology, as a satisfactory alternative to the manual method. Key-Words: multimodal image registration, optimization algorithms, similarity metrics, retinal images

Evaluation of Retinal Optic Disc Segmentation in Patients with Glaucoma and Comparison with Other Methods of Medical Image Processing
Introduction: Glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness in some countries. In the meantime, the field of retinal image processing has been proposed in order to provide automatic systems for disease diagnosis. Among the methods of medical image processing, image segmentation is a process of identification and change in the display of an image. The objective of this study was to use t...

متن کاملEffect of image registration on longitudinal analysis of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness of non-human primates using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
BACKGROUND In this paper we determined the benefits of image registration on estimating longitudinal retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) changes. METHODS RNFLT maps around the optic nerve head (ONH) of healthy primate eyes were measured using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) weekly for 30 weeks. One automatic algorithm based on mutual information (MI) and the other semi-automatic al...
متن کاملA Novel Automated Approach of Multi-modality Retinal Image Registration and Fusion
Biomedical image registration and fusion are usually scene dependent, and require intensive computational effort. A novel automated approach of feature-based control point detection and area-based registration and fusion of retinal images has been successfully designed and developed. The new algorithm, which is reliable and time-efficient, has an automatic adaptation from frame to frame with fe...
متن کاملEarly Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fluorescent Angiography Retinal Images Using Image Processing Methods
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...
