Abstract:
It is quite difficult to register two pathological retinal images owing to the vague vascular network existence. Moreover, general registration methods based on detecting the crossovers, bifurcations of the vascular network have certain drawbacks. In this paper, a retinal image registration method based on invariant feature is proposed. We recognize the extracted invariant feature as feature point and proposed bilateral "or" the best-bin-first (BBF) algorithm to match feature point. In addition, we use the feature points' orientations and the geometrical property to exclude the, error matches and utilize the refined matching features pair to estimate transformation by M-estimation for retinal image. The registration results are observed, the correct matches are compared and the root of mean square error is analyzed by experiments of registering various degrees of pathological retinal images. Results show that the proposed method achieves fine detail alignment, reserves sufficient correct matches and the root of mean square error is less than 1 and around 0.5 for pathological retinal images of registration success. Experimental results validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.
