Abstract

The eye-fundus photograph is widely used for eye examinations. Accurate identification of retinal blood vessels could reveal information that is helpful for clinical diagnoses of many health disorders. Although several methods have been proposed to segment images of retinal blood vessels, the sensitivity of these methods is plausible to be improved. The algorithm’s sensitivity refers to the algorithm’s ability to identify retinal vessel pixels correctly. Furthermore, the resolution and quality of retinal images are improving rapidly. Consequently, new segmentation methods are in demand to overcome issues from high-resolution images. This study presented improved performance of retinal vessel segmentation using a novel edge detection scheme based on the phase stretch transform (PST) function as its kernel. Before applying the edge detection stage, the input retinal images were pre-processed. During the pre-processing step, non-local means filtering on the green channel image, followed by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and median filtering, were applied to enhance the retinal image. After applying the edge detection stage, the post-processing steps, including the CLAHE, median filtering, thresholding, morphological opening, and closing, were implemented to obtain the segmented image. The proposed method was evaluated using images from the high-resolution fundus (HRF) public database and yielded promising results for sensitivity improvement of retinal blood vessel detection. The proposed approach contributes to a better segmentation performance with an average sensitivity of 0.813, representing a clear improvement over several benchmark techniques

Abstract

Genetic algorithm (GA) is well-known algorithm to find a feasible path planning which can be defined as global optimum problem. The drawback of GA is the high computation due to random process on each operator.  In this research, the new initial population integrating with new crossover operator strategy was proposed. The parameter is the length of distance travelled of the robot. Before employing the crossover operator, generating a c-obstacle have been done. The c-obstacle is used  as a filter to reduce unnecessary nodes to decrease time computation. After that, the initial population has been determined. The initial population is divided into two parents which parent’s chromosome contains an initial and goal position. The second parents are fulfilled with nodes from each obstacle. The genes of chromosome will add with c-obstacle nodes. Crossover operator is applied after filtering and c-obstacle of possible hopping is determined. Filtering method is used to remove unnecessary nodes that are part of c-obstacle. Fitness function considers the distance from  the last to next position. Optimum value is the shortest distance of path planning which avoids the obstacle in front.  The aim of the proposed method is to reduce the random population and random operating in GA. By using a similar data set of previous researches, the modified GA can reduce the total of generation and yield an adaptive generation number. This means that the modified GA converges faster than the other GA methods.
