Digital Image Processing for Ophthalmology: Detection and Modeling of Retinal Vascular Architecture

by Anna L. Ells, Faraz Oloumi, Rangaraj M. Rangayyan

The monitoring of the effects of retinopathy on the visual system can be assisted by analyzing the vascular architecture of the retina. This book presents methods based on Gabor filters to detect blood vessels in fundus images of the retina.
