Abstract
At present, many of visual disease happened from the abnormality of retinal vessels. The automatic vascular extraction from fundus images is essential for the diagnosis to reduce vision loss. This paper offers retinal blood vessel segmentation using the pre-processing and IterNet model, a convolution neural network. The green channel and gray scale image that is high contrast between the blood vessel and background, including the normalization, were used to improve blood vessel image quality. The proposed method was tested with two widely used databases, including DRIVE and CHASEDB-1, which unique characteristics in each data set. The results of blood vessel extraction of Drive and CHASEDB-1 achieved sensitivity 0.8126 and 0.7541, respectively.
