From Local to Global: A Graph Framework for Retinal Artery/Vein Classification.

Fundus photography has been widely used for inspecting eye disorders by ophthalmologists or computer algorithms. Biomarkers related to retinal vessels plays an essential role to detect early diabetes. To quantify vascular biomarkers or the corresponding changes, an accurate artery and vein classification is necessary.

Reconnection of Interrupted Curvilinear Structures via Cortically Inspired Completion for Ophthalmologic Images.

Objective: In this paper, we propose a robust, efficient, and automatic reconnection algorithm for bridging interrupted curvilinear skeletons in ophthalmologic images.

Methods: This method employs the contour completion process, i.e.

Multi-modal and multi-vendor retina image registration.

Multi-modal retinal image registration is often required to utilize the complementary information from different retinal imaging modalities. However, a robust and accurate registration is still a challenge due to the modality-varied resolution, contrast, and luminosity. In this paper, a two step registration method is proposed to address this problem.

Template Matching via Densities on the Roto-Translation Group.

We propose a template matching method for the detection of 2D image objects that are characterized by orientation patterns. Our method is based on data representations via orientation scores, which are functions on the space of positions and orientations, and which are obtained via a wavelet-type transform. This new representation allows us to detect orientation patterns in an intuitive and direct way, namely via cross-correlations.

The influence of construction methodology on structural brain network measures: A review.

Structural brain networks based on diffusion MRI and tractography show robust attributes such as small-worldness, hierarchical modularity, and rich-club organization. However, there are large discrepancies in the reports about specific network measures. It is hypothesized that these discrepancies result from the influence of construction methodology.
