摘要
En 中文
This study presents a supervised classification method for the segmentation of retinal vessels using fundus images. This work proposes a novel retinal vasculature segmentation method based on multifractal characterization of the vessels to minimize the noise and enhance the vessels during segmentation. The Holder exponent, a multifractal measure is employed for the first time to segment the retinal vessels. The Holder exponent is used to quantify the local regularity of the vessels. The Holder exponents are computed from the Gabor wavelet responses for the effective segmentation of vessels, which is a novel feature of the method. The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifier is used for the classification of pixels. Different multifractal measures used to compute the Holder exponents are evaluated for the output quality. The effectiveness of the method is evaluated using three publicly available datasets for fundus images namely, DRIVE, STARE and CHASE_DB1. The proposed method provides robust segmentation of retinal vessels for both normal and abnormal images (i.e., images with pathologies) at a reasonable segmentation speed and the method is also simple to configure. It achieves an average accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.948 and 0.959 respectively on the DRIVE dataset; 0.9542 and 0.9711 respectively on the STARE dataset; 0.9459 and 0.9592 respectively on the CHASE_DB1 dataset; 0.9500 and 0.9623 respectively on the abnormal images.
