Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a vision threatening in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes mellitus. There is a greater need for automated techniques for quick screening of DR due to the increasing number of patients. The accurate diagnosis of DR depends upon detecting and analyzing some features of human retina (i.e. blood vessels, fovea, optic disc, etc.) as well as several types of spot lesions (i.e. exudates, drusen, microaneurysms, hemorrhage, etc). This study focus on blood vessel segmentation in the human retina, which is an essential milestone in the analysis of retinal images. With the proposed algorithm, a few image-processing techniques for contrast enhancement, normalization and thresholding, are used to achieve more efficient and optimized segmentation. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the presented algorithm produces high-accuracy segmentation and the algorithm is ideally suited for real-time screening applications and large data retrieval.
