Abstract

An automated blood vessel extraction using high-order local autocorrelation (HLAC) on retinal images is presented. The blood vessels were enhanced by black-hat transformation as a pre-processing. One hundred five HLAC features were calculated in a black-hat filtered image, and they were inputted into a first layer of an artificial neural network (ANN). The output, a green component of the color retinal image, output values of three kinds of filter were then inputted into a second layer of ANN. Using DRIVE database, the area under the curve (AUC) based on ROC analysis was 0.960 as a result of our study. The result can be used for the blood vessels extraction.
