Retinal images are often used to examine the vascular system in a non-invasive way. Studying the behavior of the vasculature on the retina allows for noninvasive diagnosis of several diseases as these vessels and their behavior are representative of the behavior of vessels throughout the human body. For early diagnosis and analysis of diseases, it is important to compare and analyze the complex vasculature in retinal images automatically.
During this talk, we will talk about a geodesic tracking approach that is better able to handle difficult structures, like high curvature and crossings. Additionally, we discuss how one can identify connected components in images that allow for small interruptions within the same component. Both methods takes place in the lifted space of positions and orientations SE(2), which allows us to differentiate between crossings and bifurcations.
