Optimal Anisotropic Guided Filtering in retinal fundus imaging: A dual approach to enhancement and segmentation. by G Tirumala Vasu, Samreen Fiza, Subba Rao Polamuri, K Reddy Madhavi, Thejaswini R, Venkataramana Guntreddi

“…Retinal vascular tree segmentation and enhancement has significant medical imaging benefits because, unlike any other human organ, the retina allows non-invasive observation of blood microcirculation, making it ideal for the detection of systemic diseases. Many traditional methods of segmentation and enhancement encounter issues with visual distortion, ghost artifacts, spatially inconsistent structures, and edge information preservation as a result of the diffusion of spatial intensities at the edges. …”
