Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation and Optic Disc Detection Using Combination of Spatial Domain Techniques

چکیده
Medical imaging is the process of creating visual representations of the interior portion of a human body for clinical analysis. Medical imaging reveals the internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. It also helps in identifying the abnormalities. Medical imaging technology helps doctors to see the interior portions of the human body and made easy for diagnosis. Segmentation of retinal blood vessels assists in identifying various diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, macular degeneration, glaucoma etc. The early detection of these diseases is important to prevent the patients from reaching severity. This method makes use of edge detection and morphological operators to segment the retinal blood vessels. Our method also consists of automatically detecting the position of the Optic Disc in digital retinal fundus images. Input images are obtained from DRIVE and STARE datasets.

Automatic Optic Disc Center and Boundary Detection in Color Fundus Images
Accurately detection of retinal landmarks, like optic disc, is an important step in the computer aided diagnosis frameworks. This paper presents an efficient method for automatic detection of the optic disc’s center and estimating its boundary. The center and initial diameter of optic disc are estimated by employing an ANN classifier. The ANN classifier employs visual features of vessels and th...

Automated fundus image analysis plays an important role in the computer aided diagnosis of ophthalmologic disorders. A lot of eye disorders, as well as cardiovascular disorders, are known to be related with retinal vasculature changes. Many studies has been done to explore these relationships. However, most of the studies are based on limited data obtained using manual or semi-automated methods...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
