Registration and Fusion of the Autofluorescent and Infrared Retinal Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article deals with registration and fusion of multimodal opththalmologic images obtained by means of a laser scanning device (Heidelberg retina angiograph). The registration framework has been designed and tested for combination of autofluorescent and infrared images. This process is a necessary step for consecutive pixel level fusion and analysis utilizing information from both modalities. Two fusion methods are presented and compared.

Fusion of Thermal Infrared and Visible Images Based on Multi-scale Transform and Sparse Representation
Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...
متن کاملFusion and display of 3D SPECT and MR images registered by a surface fitting method
Since 3D medical images such as SPECT and MRI are taken under different patients positioning and imaging parameters, interpretation of them, as reconstructed originally, does not provide an easy and accurate understanding of similarities and differences between them. The problem becomes more crucial where a clinician would like to map accurately region of interest from one study to the ot...

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, the combination of these two types of images leads to better understanding of the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images are really in distinguishing targets from the background based on the radiation differences and land surface temperature (LST) calculation. However, their spatial resolu...
متن کاملFundus Autofluorescence Imaging and Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis in a Patient with Stargard Disease
We present a case of Stargardt disease in a 66-year-old man. Fundus examination revealed atrophic macula in both eyes. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging showed clearly defined hypo-autofluorescent lesions corresponding to the atrophic lesion. In addition, numerous hyper-autofluorescent dots corresponding to the retinal flecks were observed around the atrophic area. Near-infrared FAF imaging...
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...
