Abstract

PURPOSE: The segmentation results of retinal blood vessels have a significant impact on the automatic diagnosis of various ophthalmic diseases. In order to further improve the segmentation accuracy of retinal vessels, we propose an improved algorithm based on multiscale vessel detection, which extracts features through densely connected networks and reuses features.
