Background:

Retinal blood vessels are crucial indicators for diseases like diabetic retinopathy and cardiovascular conditions.
Current microvasculature analysis methods are insufficient for detailed disease assessment.
Existing fractal analysis lacks systematic feature extraction for retinal vascular classification.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate new methods for feature extraction from multifractal spectra of retinal vessels.
To enhance the classification accuracy of retinal vascular diseases using advanced fractal analysis.
To investigate the impact of fractal features on diagnostic performance.

Main Methods:

Feature extraction from multifractal spectra of retinal blood vessels.
Application of new methods to two public retinal vascular image databases.
Classification of healthy versus diabetic retinal vasculatures using extracted features.

Main Results:

Achieved classification accuracies of 85.5% and 77% on public datasets.
Demonstrated superior performance of multiple fractal features over single fractal dimension values.
Highlighted the influence of vessel segmentation accuracy on classification outcomes.

Conclusions:

Multifractal feature extraction offers a promising approach for retinal vascular disease classification.
Comprehensive fractal analysis improves diagnostic accuracy compared to simpler methods.
Accurate vessel segmentation is critical for reliable automated retinal vascular analysis.
