Retinal Vessel Tortuosity for Digital Fundus Images

S. A. Jameel, A. R. Mohamed Shanavas

Abstract


Advances in retinal imaging modalities have got enabled to spot new options in retinal vessel tortuosity. One amongst the explanations is that this disease is often treated if known within the early stages. Several algorithms and techniques with tortuosity measures are projected. With this intention we have a tendency to propose an approach that could be fast randomized circle detection for tortuosity of retinal images using Hough transform.
