Registration and fusion of retinal images-an evaluation study

Abstract: We present the results of a study on the application of registration and pixel-level fusion techniques to retinal images. The images are of different modalities (color, fluorescein angiogram), different resolutions, and taken at different times (from a few minutes during an angiography examination to several years between two examinations). We propose a new registration method based on global point mapping with blood vessel bifurcations as control points and a search for control point matches that uses local s… Show more

“…(a) The method described in 29 which is optimized for detecting bifurcations in retinal images (b) The general purpose method adopted by Likar and Pernus 8 for obtaining points around edges and ridges on dental images, which is suitable for working with a large number of points In the first case, the number of extracted bifurcation points is determined automatically by the algorithm, while for the dental images, a fixed number of 200 control points were extracted from each reference image. …”

“…The most common way to quantify the registration accuracy of such images is to use the vessels' skeleton in the two images and evaluate the distance between them [3]. However, extracting the skeleton is not a trivial task.…”
