2D alpha-shapes to quantify retinal microvasculature morphology and their application to proliferative diabetic retinopathy characterisation in fundus photographs

Abstract The use of 2D alpha-shapes (α-shapes) to quantify morphological features of the retinal microvasculature could lead to imaging biomarkers for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We tested our approach using the MESSIDOR dataset that consists of colour fundus photographs from 547 healt...
