My vision is to develop a fast and robust algorithm to detect glaucoma and other diseases on eye fundus images

Vessel Segmentation and Analysis

The aim of the project is to develop vessel segmentation and feature extraction algorithms to analyse different attributes of the vessels and the vessel tree. A multi-resolution vessel segmentation algorithm is developed and applied on common eye fundus images, fundus video sequences, and spectral filtered fundus images to extract the vessel tree. Different features like tortuosity, fractal dimension, change properties in the video sequence are calculated and visualized to help the diagnosis of the physicians.

The following images show an example of the tortuosity visualisation:
The original RGB image is segmented to gain a binary image, showing only the vessel tree. The vessels in the binary image are tracked and separated from eachother. The tortuosity of each vessel is calculated independently, and visualized in a color coded image, where the green color shows vessels with normal tortuosity, and the red one the vessels with high tortuosity.
