Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using A New Topological Method

نویسنده

  • Martin Brooks
چکیده

A novel topological segmentation of retinal images represents blood vessels as connected regions in the continuous image plane, having shape-related analytic and geometric properties. This paper presents topological segmentation results from the DRIVE retinal image database [SAN∗04].

Extracting 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...

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...

Comparative Assessment of Retinal Vasculature using Topological and Geometric Measures

We present a quantitative method for the comparison of vascular topology and geometry measured from retinal fundus photographs. The measure compares the difference between distributions taken from a graph representation of the vasculature, which is derived by image segmentation. The measure uses the Kullback-Leibler distance between statistical measures on the reference and test segmentations w...

Automated Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using Morphological Operation And Threshold

Assessment of retinal vessel is an important factor for the many medical disorders. The retinal vessel analysis can be done by first extracting the retinal images from the background. The changes in the retinal vessels due to the pathologies can be easily identified by segmenting the retinal vessels. In this paper we describe the automatic methods for retinal vessel segmentation. Segmentation o...
