Processing Techniques

Retinal Vessel detection for retinal images play crucial role in medical field for proper diagnosis and treatment of various diseases like diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy etc. This paper deals with image processing techniques for automatic analysis of blood vessel detection of fundus retinal image using MATLAB tool. This approach uses intensity information and local phase based enhancement filter techniques and morphological operators to provide better accuracy.Objective: The effect of diabetes on the eye is called Diabetic Retinopathy. At the early stages of the disease, blood vessels in the retina become weakened and leak, forming small hemorrhages. As the disease progress, blood vessels may block, and sometimes leads to permanent vision loss. To help Clinicians in diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in retinal images with an early detection of abnormalities with automated tools.Methods: Fundus photography is an imaging technology used to capture retinal images in diabetic patient through fundus camera. Adaptive Thresholding is used as pre-processing techniques to increase the contrast, and filters are applied to enhance the image quality. Morphological processing is used to detect the shape of blood vessels as they are nonlinear in nature.Results: Image features like, Mean and Standard deviation and entropy, for textural analysis of image with Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix features like contrast and Energy are calculated for detected vessels.Conclusion: In diabetic patients eyes are affected severely compared to other organs. Early detection of vessel structure in retinal images with computer assisted tools may assist Clinicians for proper diagnosis and pathology.

Filtering Approach

Retinal blood vessels can give information about abnormalities or disease by examining its pathological changes. One abnormality is diabetic retinopathy, characterized by a disorder of retinal blood vessels resulting from diabetes mellitus. Currently, diabetic retinopathy is one of the major causes of human vision abnormalities and blindness. Hence, early detection can lead to proper treatment, and segmentation of the abnormality provides a map of retinal vessels that can facilitate the assessment of the characteristics of these vessels. In this paper, the authors propose a new method, consisting of a sequence of procedures, to segment blood vessels in a retinal image. In the method, attribute filtering with a so-called Max-Tree is used to represent the image based on its gray value. The filtering process is done using the branches filtering approach in which the tree branches are selected based on the non-compactness of the nodes. The selection is started from the leaves. This experiment was performed on 40 retinal images, and utilized the manual segmentation created by an observer to validate the results. The proposed method can deliver an average accuracy of 94.21%.

Diabetic retinopathy is a vascular complication of long-term diabetes. It causes damage to the small blood vessels positioned in the retina. These damaged blood vessels affect the macula and lead to vision loss. Exudates are one of the early signs of diabetic retinopathy disease in the retinal image, which occurs due to built-up of lipidic accumulation within the retina. In this paper, an image processing method is presented for diabetic exudates detection. First, high performance pre-processing is applied not only for de-noising and normalization but also to remove artefacts and reflection that could mislead exudates detection. Then, morphological operations are applied for the final candidate segmentation. Eight region features are extracted from the exudate region then random forest classifier is applied to differentiate between exudates and non-exudates region. The proposed method is evaluated using e_ophtha_EX dataset, achieving 80% sensitivity and 77% positive predicted value.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is progressive dysfunction of the retinal blood vessels caused by chronic hyperglycemia which can be a complication of diabetes type 1 or diabetes type 2. Initially, DR is asymptomatic, if not treated though it can cause low vision and blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is responsible for 1.8 million of the 37 million cases of blindness throughout the world. So the early detection of Diabetic retinopathy through proper screening is essential. The paper presents a Diabetic Retinopathy Screening System which can be used as a primary diagnosis tool by ophthalmologists in the screening process to detect symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy. The system uses the anatomical structures such as blood vessels, exudates and microaneurysms in retinal images. The retinal images are segmented and classified as normal or DR affected images by extracting features from segmented images and the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). The classifier used is Support Vector Machine (SVM) which gives a better accuracy. The system is implemented and tested in MATLAB and LabView for the standard database and need to be optimized for real time screening of images. LabView creates distributable .EXE files and .DLL files which can be downloaded into the FPGA/DSP processor. Hardware implementation on LabView FPGA presents a small learning curve which drastically reduces development time and eliminates the need for custom hardware design.

Retinal blood vessels detection and measurement of morphological attributes, such as length, width, sinuosity and corners are very much important for the diagnosis and treatment of different ocular diseases including diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and hypertension. This paper presents a integration method for blood vessels detection in fundus retinal images. The proposed method consists of two main steps. The first step is pre-processing of retinal image to improve the retinal images by evaluation of several image enhancement techniques. The second step is vessels detection, the vesselness filter is usually used to enhance the blood vessels. The enhancement filter is designed from the adaptive thresholding of the output of the vesselness filter for vessels detection. The algorithms performance is compared and analyzed on three publicly available databases (DRIVE, STARE and CHASE_DB) of retinal images using a number of measures, which include accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.
