A Hybrid Method to Enhance Thick and Thin Vessels for Blood Vessel Segmentation
Retinal blood vessels have been presented to contribute confirmation with regard to tortuosity, branching angles, or change in diameter as a result of ophthalmic disease. Although many enhancement filters are extensively utilized, the Jerman filter responds quite effectively at vessels, edges, and b...
