Retinal vessels segmentation based on level set and region growing

作者：

Highlights：

• A new segmentation method for retinal vessels based on level set and region growing.

• Comparisons are conducted on DRIVE and STARE databases using three different measures.

• The proposed method reaches accuracy of 94.77% on the DRIVE database.

• The proposed method reaches accuracy of 95.09% on the STARE database.
