Shrnutí:Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels is of great significance for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Due to the limited number of retinal vessel samples and the scarcity of labeled samples, and since grey theory excels in handling problems of “few data, poor information”, this paper proposes a novel grey relational-based method for retinal vessel segmentation. Firstly, a noise-adaptive discrimination filtering algorithm based on grey relational analysis (NADF-GRA) is designed to enhance the image. Secondly, a threshold segmentation model based on grey relational analysis (TS-GRA) is designed to segment the enhanced vessel image. Finally, a post-processing stage involving hole filling and removal of isolated pixels is applied to obtain the final segmentation output. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using multiple different measurement metrics on publicly available digital retinal DRIVE, STARE and HRF datasets. Experimental analysis showed that the average accuracy and specificity on the DRIVE dataset were 96.03% and 98.51%. The mean accuracy and specificity on the STARE dataset were 95.46% and 97.85%. Precision, F1-score, and Jaccard index on the HRF dataset all demonstrated high-performance levels. The method proposed in this paper is superior to the current mainstream methods.
