    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Machine Learning

    Background:

    • Accurate classification of retinal blood vessels into arterioles and venules is crucial for analyzing the vasculature and discovering disease biomarkers.
    • The arteriole-to-venule width ratio (AVR) in zone B of retinal images is a key indicator of microvascular health and systemic disease.
    • Automated classification methods are needed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of retinal vasculature analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel Least Square-Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) classifier for the automated labeling of retinal arterioles and venules.
    • To assess the performance of the LS-SVM classifier using a limited number of image features and varying training dataset sizes.
    • To compare the proposed method's performance against existing systems for retinal vessel classification.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a Least Square-Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) classifier.
    • Utilized only 4 image features for classification.
    • Trained and tested the classifier on retinal blood vessels within zone B and an extended zone from 70 fundus camera images.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved high classification accuracy: 94.88% in zone B and 93.96% in the extended zone with a training set of 10 images.
    • Maintained high accuracy (94.16% and 93.95%) even with a smaller training set of 5 images.
    • Demonstrated consistent performance across multiple random selections of training data.

    Conclusions:

    • The LS-SVM classifier offers a promising approach for automated retinal blood vessel classification.
    • The method achieves high accuracy with significantly smaller training datasets compared to other systems.
    • This technique has the potential to outperform existing systems and aid in the early detection of systemic diseases through retinal analysis.
