Abstract

In this paper, we present an algorithm for the detection of blood vessel contours in coronary aiteriograms. The proposed algorithm is based on both matched filtering and adaptive tracking. The proposed algorithm has merits in that it overcomes the bifurcation section problem as well as narrow vessel problem. Moreover, the algorithm has fast performance as well as insensitivity to noise.

본 논문은 관상동맥 영상에서 혈관 경계 검출에 대한 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 정합필터링과 적응추적에 기반한 방법이다. 제안된 알고리듬은 분기부분 문제와 직경이 작은 혈관 부분의 문제점을 해결하였다. 또한 빠른 처리기간과 잡음에 강인한 성능을 가지고 있다.
