Adaptive image enhancement for retinal blood vessel segmentation

Adaptive image enhancement for retinal blood vessel segmentation

Retinal blood vessel images are enhanced by removing the non-stationary background, which is adaptively estimated based on local neighbourhood information. The result is a much better segmentation of the blood vessels with a simple algorithm and without the need to obtain a priori illumination knowl...

Zusammenfassung:Retinal blood vessel images are enhanced by removing the non-stationary background, which is adaptively estimated based on local neighbourhood information. The result is a much better segmentation of the blood vessels with a simple algorithm and without the need to obtain a priori illumination knowledge of the imaging system.
