Automatic Extraction of Blood Vessels in the Retinal Vascular Tree Using Multiscale Medialness
We propose an algorithm for vessel extraction in retinal images. The first step consists of applying anisotropic diffusion filtering in the initial vessel network in order to restore disconnected vessel lines and eliminate noisy lines. In the second step, a multiscale line-tracking procedure allows...
