Retinal Vascular Characteristics

This chapter begins with a description of eye anatomy followed by the anatomy of retinas as well as the acquisition methods for obtaining retinal images. Our own device for capturing the vascular pattern of the retina is introduced in the following text. This chapter presents our aim to estimate the information present in human retina images. The next section describes the search for diseases found in retinal images, and the last section is devoted to our method for generating synthetic retinal images.
