Vessel enhancement “Multiscale vessel enhancement filtering”, Frangi et al, 1998 • - Scale Space representation • Local image descriptors • - Eigenvalues of Hessain (2nd derivative) matrix • Tubular, plate-like and spherical structures
Vascular tree extraction Original images Vessel enhancement Thresholding + Skeletonization + Largest connected components
From bifurcation point to bifurcation structure… “Feature-Based Retinal Image Registration Using Bifurcation Structures”, Chen & Zhang, 2009 L2 L3 • But… • L’s are normalized to sum up to 1. • The α triplets sum up to 360. • Therefore we can remove some redundancy. L1 We can measure a distance between such structures!
From bifurcation structures to registration… Step 1: Find bifurcation structures in both images. Step 2: Find the best match between two bifurcation structures. The match between 4 points (3 are enough) determines the affine transformation. Step 3: Find next best matches (taking the transformation into account); refine the affine transformation with more points.
