Resumo

Retinal image, which is used in determining different diseases in the eye of a human being, is an important feature in the field of ophthalmology. Similarly, optic disc detection is also an important feature as it locates diseases and defects. In Image processing of fundus, image vessel extraction is the key feature used in doing so. Here, we are presenting the Graph Cut method which helps in extracting blood vessels that can be used in detection of optic disc.Keywords: Retinal image, ophthalmology, graph cut techniqueCite this Article: Roopa Chhoker, Pooja Sabharwal.
