Extraction of Retinal Blood Vessel Using Curvelet Transform and Fuzzy C-Means

Abstract: This paper addresses the automatic blood vessel detection problem in retinal images using matched filtering in an integrated system design platform that involves curvelet transform and fuzzy c-means. Although noise is kept constant in medical CCD cameras, due to a number of factors, the contrast between the background and the blood vessels in retinal images and consequently the visual quality of the images looks very poor. Some form of pre-processing operation is therefore essential for the accurate extraction… Show more

“…The signal energy values ( E total ) stored in FC are classified into four different classes, ie, PU signal presence in absence of PUEA, PU signal presence in presence of PUEA, PUEA signal presence in absence of PU, and noise only. The classes, as mentioned earlier, are shown in Figure using four different membership functions, namely, Z(x, α , β )‐function, false(x,α,βfalse)‐function, false(x,α,βfalse)‐function, and S(x, α , β )‐function, respectively. Based on the energy values of PU and PUEA signals in radio mobile environment, such distinctive regions are less likely to obtain.…”

“…The membership functions μ n , μ m , μ p , μ pm , shown in Figure , represent the different states, namely, noise only, PUEA (in absence of PU), PU (in absence of PUEA), and PU (in presence of PUEA), respectively, and are same as used in the work of Kar et al The functions are expressed mathematically as follows: μnfalse(xfalse)= {arrayarray1arrayxα1arrayxβ1α1β1arrayα1xβ1array0arrayx>β1 μsfalse(xfalse)= {arrayarray0arrayxαn1arrayxαn1βn1αn1arrayαn1<xβn1array1arrayβn1<xαnarrayxβnαnβnarrayαn<xβnarray0arrayx>βn. Here, μ s ( x ) = μ m ( x ) for n = 2 and μ s ( x ) = μ p ( x ) for n = 3, μpmfalse(xfalse)= {arrayarray0arrayxα3arrayx…”

“…In 2014, Kar et al combined curvelet transform with matched filter and conditional fuzzy entropy for extraction of blood vessels [12]. In 2016, the same authors suggested another method for extraction of blood vessels by combining curvelet transform with matched filter and kernel fuzzy c-means [13]. Some of the significance associated with supervised and unsupervised works for retinal vessel segmentation that are available are discussed below.…”

“…The study was able to provide good performance with AUC 87%, unfortunately, the research produced too low sensitivity below 80%. The same AUC value was also generated in the study of Kar and Maity [7]. In addition to the two studies, a combination of FCM with entropy information was developed by Mapayi et al [8] and weighted FCM by Kande et al [9].…”
