This paper focuses on evaluating a method for measuring the retinal vessel widths in a recently publicly available database (REVIEW). The algorithm is based on deformable models and it constitutes an essential step in a methodology to compute the AVR automatically. This methodology is part of a web-based framework aimed to integrate diverse techniques in the field of retinal image analysis. The results achieved in the REVIEW database indicate the method is comparable or, in some cases, improves the accuracy of other techniques for measuring the vessel widths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
