Abstract |
|
In this paper an algorithm is proposed for the identification of hard exudates in fundus images. The method is based on segmenting all objects that have contrast with the background including the exudates. The exudates could then be extracted after extracting the blood vessel based on curvelet transform operations and optic disc is detected and masked. The regions representing the blood vessel and the optic disc are removed to get the regions of exudates. The exudates are obtained by morphological reconstruction. This method is shown to be promising as we can detect the very small areas of exudates. |
