In this paper, we proposed new method to enhance choroidal vessels by suppressing retina vessels brightness. It is well-known that CNV(choroidal neovascularization) is related with sight loss. The main feature of CNV is the occurrence of new vessels in choroid. Unfortunately, because retina vessels brightness is stronger than choroidal vessels brightness in ICGA(indocynanine green angiography) image, so that the choroidal vessels were hardly recognized. Therefore, for correct diagnosis, the choroidal vessels must be enhanced in ICGA image. The proposed enhancement method consists of 3 strategies. First, the retina vessels were detected by multi scale enhancement technique, hysteresis thresholding, KNN(Kth-nearest neighbor) classification method. And then, a retina vessel mask was generated from detection result. Next, the brightness of retina vessels was suppressed by the proposed conditional region erosion method and mask region until the mask region was vanished. Finally, the brightness of choroidal vessel was enhanced on processed image. Through an experiment, we had confirmed that the proposed method was robust and efficient.

본 논문에서는 애견의 안구 영상을 분석하여 백내장을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 애견의 영상에서 안구 영역을 선택한 후, 양선형 보간법을 적용하여 선택된 안구 영역을 확대한 후, 퍼지 스트레칭 기법을 적용하여 명암 대비를 강조한다. 강조된 영상에서 이진화 기법과 침식, 팽창기법을 적용하여 잡음 영역을 제거한다. 잡음이 제거된 안구 영역에 8 방향 윤곽선 추적 기법을 적용하여 백내장을 추출한다. 추출된 백내장 부분을 애견의 평균적인 백내장의 크기와 비교 분석하여 백내장 가능성을 도출한다.
