摘要

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness. Diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy at an early stage can be done through the segmentation of the blood vessels of retina. Many studies have been carried out in the last decade in order to obtain accurate blood vessel segmentation in retinal fun-dus images including supervised and unsupervised methods. Supervised methods provide higher accuracies however they require more calculation time and their performance completely depend on the training data. In this work, an unsupervised segmentation method is proposed for blood vessel segmentation. A new vessel strengthening method and pixel tracking algorithm are presented. The pixel tracking algorithm filters background artifacts that have similar characteristics with small and thin vessels while segmenting vessels. The proposed segmentation method eliminates the dependency on training data and decreases the processing time of segmentation process while achieving high accuracy rates. Its performance is evaluated by using the DRIVE and STARE databases and achieved an average accuracy of 94.02% for the DRIVE database and 9543% for the STARE database. Our results demonstrated an average sensitivity of 71.74% and a specificity of 97.28% for the DRIVE database while it is 71% and 97.4% for the STARE database, respectively. The calculated sensitivity and specificity values for both databases also state that the proposed segmentation method is reliable.
