A hybrid segmentation algorithm is proposed is this paper to extract the blood vesselsfrom the fundus image of retina. Fundus camera captures the posterior surface of the eye and thecaptured images are used to diagnose diseases, like Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinoblastoma, Retinalhaemorrhage, etc. Seg...
