Detection of Vessels in a Retinal Image Using Decomposed Pixel Classification Method

Abstract

The aim of this study, determination of blood vessels on high dimensional retinal images using decomposed pixel classification method. In this work intensity histograms are obtained by using vectoral directions. Local minimum and local maximum points are found by using these histograms to detect location of vessels. In addition to this, vessel thickness information are detected by determining a threshold point on these histograms.
