Retinal Vessel Tracking Using Gaussian and Radon Methods

Abstract

Retinopathy is one the cause of impairment of eye vision which leads to damage to the retina. Irregular sugar levels in the blood flow, abnormal blood flow in the retina and hypertension causes retinopathy. with the help of computer application tracking and estimating the diameter of a blood vessel is possible. The MATLAB software is used to track and estimate the blood vessel. In this software, the retinal image is given as an input image and the image processing methods are carried out to determine the diameter and track the retinal blood vessel. This technique distinguishes bifurcation focuses which might be valuable for further post - quantitative and compositional investigation.
