Li Wang and Abhir Bhalerao, Detecting Branching Structures using Local Gaussian Models (November 26, 2001).
This report presents a method of detecting branching structure, such as blood vessels from retinal images, using a Gaussian Intensity model. Features are modelled with a Gaussian function parameterised by position, orientation and variance within some spatial window. Multiple features are modelled using a superposition of Gaussian models. A non-parametric classifier (k-means) is used to cluster components corresponding to each feature. Two different groups of images are used to test the methodology: artificial images and images of the human retina.
