Arteries And Veins

The analysis of the retinal vasculature represents a crucial stage in the diagnosis of several diseases. An exhaustive analysis involves segmenting the retinal vessels and classifying them into veins and arteries. In this work, we present an accurate approach, based on deep neural networks, for the joint segmentation and classification of the retinal veins and arteries from color fundus images. The presented approach decomposes this joint task into three related subtasks: the segmentation of arteries, veins and the whole vascular tree. The experiments performed show that our method achieves competitive results in the discrimination of arteries and veins, while clearly enhancing the segmentation of the different structures. Moreover, unlike other approaches, our method allows for the straightforward detection of vessel crossings, and preserves the continuity of the arterial and venous vascular trees at these locations.

Diagnostic Step

Automated analysis and interpretation of retinal images has become an incontournable diagnostic step in ophthalmology. Retinal blood vessels morphology can be an important indicator for diseases such as diabetic retinopathy; and their detection also serves for image registration. This paper presents a method based on mathematical morphology for extraction of vascular tree in color retinal image with low contrast. It consists in contrast enhancement and application of watershed transformation in order to segment blood vessels in digital fundus images.

Timely Treatment

: Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of vision impairment and its early stage diagnosis relies on regular monitoring and timely treatment for anomalies exhibiting subtle distinction among different severity grades. The existing Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) detection approaches are subjective, laborious and time consuming which can only be carried out by skilled professionals. All the patents related to DR detection and diagnoses applicable for our research problem were revised by the authors. The major limitation in classification of severities lies in poor discrimination between actual lesions, background noise and other anatomical structures. A robust and computationally efficient Two-Tier DR (2TDR) grading system is proposed in this paper to categorize various DR severities (mild, moderate and severe) present in retinal fundus images. In the proposed 2TDR grading system, input fundus image is subjected to background segmentation and the foreground fundus image is used for anomaly identification followed by GLCM feature extraction forming an image feature set. The novelty of our model lies in the exhaustive statistical analysis of extracted feature set to obtain optimal reduced image feature set employed further for classification. Classification outcomes are obtained for both extracted as well as reduced feature set to validate the significance of statistical analysis in severity classification and grading. For single tier classification stage, the proposed system achieves an overall accuracy of 100% by k- Nearest Neighbour (kNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier. In second tier classification stage an overall accuracy of 95.3% with kNN and 98.0% with ANN is achieved for all stages utilizing optimal reduced feature set. 2TDR system demonstrates overall improvement in classification performance by 2% and 6% for kNN and ANN respectively after feature set reduction, and also outperforms the accuracy obtained by other state of the art methods when applied to the MESSIDOR dataset. This application oriented work aids in accurate DR classification for effective diagnosis and timely treatment of severe retinal ailment.
