Abstract

We propose a novel approach to blood vessel detection in retinal images using shape-based multi-threshold probing. On an image set with hand-labeled ground truth our algorithm quantitatively demonstrates superior performance over the basic thresholding and another method recently reported in the literature. The core of our algorithm, classification-based multi-threshold probing, represents a general framework of segmentation that has not been explored in the literature thus far. We expect that the framework may be applied to a variety of other tasks.
