Abstract | Structural analysis of the vascular architecture of the retina facilitates the diagnosis of retinopathy because retinopathy affects the blood flow velocity. To this end, blood flow velocity in the major temporal arcade (MTA) vessel in retina may be measured to detect blood flow velocity changes. For this measurement, separation of the MTA vessel is a necessary step. We propose methods for identifying the MTA vessel. We use Gabor filters to detect retinal vessels and Hough transform to model the MTA vessel. Then, we use the MTA model to find a seed point for image segmentation. Next, we take advantage of graph theory to track temporal arcade vessels and separate the MTA vessel. We have evaluated our algorithm using 43 clinical angiography images, in which traces of MTA was drawn by an ophthalmologist. Experimental results show that the proposed methods correctly separate MTA in 93%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
