Original Abstract

Automatic and precise segmentation of retinal blood vessels can help in computer aided as-sessment of various retinal diseases, especially diseases related to cardiovascular system or glaucoma. Hence, an accurate detection of retinal vascular structures is one of the most addressed topic in the field of retinal im-age processing today. Most of the methods are designed directly for utilization with a special dataset only or have problems to segment blurry and noisy images. In this study, we showed that combination of three stand-ard approaches – matched filtering, Hessian-based approach, and morphological processing, together with support vector machine classification technique, can be satisfactorily used as a universal segmentation ap-proach in retinal images acquired using entirely different devices.
