Abstract

Computer based automatic blood vessel segmentation is an efficient way to segments the retinal blood vessels. Retinal blood vessels plays and important role in diagnosing eye related diseases. The main function of Retinal blood vessels is to carry fresh blood from heart to eye and then deoxygenated blood back to heart from eye. Many diseases may effect these blood vessels and leads to eye blindness. But the early stage observation of these blood vessel structures through retinal images can help diagnosing eye sight related problems. Many techniques have been proposed for automatic segmentation of retinal blood vessels. This paper is presenting a review of some previously proposed techniques or methods for segmentation of retinal blood vessels.
