Abstract :
In order to quickly and accurately detect microaneurysms of diabetic retinopathy images, a specific method is proposed in this paper, which eliminates useless information based on overall threshold, computes the set of overall connection domain, and precisely orientates microaneurysms by local threshold segmentation and local connection domain identification. Experimental results testify the good accuracy of this method.
