D1-4 Retina Vessels Detection in Fundus Images by New Morphology Operation and the Anisotropic Diffusion Filter

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method for the detection of retina vessels in fundus images based on a new morphology operation and the anisotropic diffusion filter. The retina vessels detection in fundus images is needed for the diagnosis of an eye disease. However, it is an extremely exhausting and time consuming task for medical doctors, and therefore an automatic retina vessel detection method is strongly required. After the actual experiments on particular sets of fundus images, it has been found that the proposed method works better compared with the conventional detection methods.
