Abstract

Medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in many medical imaging applications by automating or facilating the delineation of anatomical structure and other regions of interest. This paper makes a review on the current segmentation algorithm used for retinal images. These algorithms are divided into three categories according to their main concepts like Edge-based, Region based and Special - theory based Segmentations. The reviewed algorithms are tested using Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP) tools.
