    2 - 2008-Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation Using Line Operators and Support Vector Classification

    Uploaded by

    Sonal Honale
    This document summarizes a research paper on retinal blood vessel segmentation using line operators and support vector classification. The proposed method uses line detectors to extract line segments from retinal images, calculates feature vectors at each pixel, and then trains a support vector machine (SVM) classifier on manually segmented images. Experimental results on two databases found the SVM achieved true positive rates of 90.3% and 77.5%, with low false positive rates, outperforming existing unsupervised methods. The supervised approach required fewer features than other existing methods.
