Blood Vessel Segmentation in Retinal Fundus Images

Eurocam - Handheld Fundus / Retinal Images

Abstract

The segmentation of retinal blood vessels in the retina is a critical step in diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. This work proposes a method for automatically segmenting blood vessels in retinal images. Five basic algorithms for segmenting retinal blood vessels, based on different image processing techniques, are described in the paper in [1] and their strengths and weaknesses are compared. A hybrid algorithm that combines the confidence outputs of each basic algorithm is described. The performance of each algorithm should be tested on the DRIVE dataset.
