Parallel Double Snakes. Application to the segmentation of retinal layers in 2D-OCT for pathological subjects

作者：

Highlights：

• Original segmentation method for elongated structures.

• Integration of an approximate parallelism constraint in deformable models.

• Application to retina imaging (retinal layers in OCT for pathological subjects).

• Results are accurate and within the range of intra and inter-expert variability.
