A digital image analysis system can assist medical experts to make accurate diagnosis in an efficient manner. This paper presents the computer based approach to the automated segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images. The detection of the retinal vessel is achieved by performing image enhancement using CLAHE followed by Bottomhat morphological transformation. Active contour model (snake) is then used to segment out the detected retinal vessel and produce a complete retinal vasculature. A Graphic User Interface (GUI) has also been created to ease the user for the segmentation of the retinal vasculature. © 2009 IEEE. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-70449098011&doi=10.1109%2fCITISIA.2009.5224176&partnerID=40&md5=2a33ed837ba00af730b77526373103b7 id_number: 10.1109/CITISIA.2009.5224176 full_text_status: none publication: 2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications, CITISIA 2009 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 398-401 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424428878 citation: Kee, Y.P. and Lila, I.I. and Ahmad, F.M.H. and Hanung, A.N. and Hermawan, N. and Vijanth, S.A.
