摘要：

Automated analysis and interpretation of retinal images has become an incontournable diagnostic step in ophthalmology. Retinal blood vessels morphology can be an important indicator for diseases such as diabetic retinopathy; and their detection also serves for image registration. This paper presents a method based on mathematical morphology for extraction of vascular tree in color retinal image with low contrast. It consists in contrast enhancement and application of watershed transformation in order to segment blood vessels in digital fundus images.
