Abstract
This paper presents an automatic approach for the estimation of Arteriolar-to-Venular Ratio (AVR) in retinal images. The method was assessed using the images of the INSPIRE-AVR database. A mean error of 0.05 was obtained when the method´s results were compared with reference AVR values provided with this dataset, thus demonstrating the adequacy of the proposed solution for AVR estimation.
