Background:

Retinal vessel segmentation is crucial for diagnosing pathologies like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
Existing methods face challenges in balancing segmentation performance, time efficiency, and distinguishing thin vessels from noise.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an efficient B-COSFIRE filter-based method for accurate retinal vessel segmentation.
To address challenges in segmentation performance, speed, and noise differentiation in fundus images.

Main Methods:

Utilized Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) for contrast enhancement.
Employed B-COSFIRE filters for vessel detection and morphological filters for noise reduction.
Applied binary thresholding and connected domain analysis for final vessel segmentation.

Main Results:

Achieved high accuracy (e.g., 0.9604 on DRIVE, 0.9558 on STARE) and specificity (e.g., 0.9847 on DRIVE, 0.9705 on STARE).
Demonstrated efficient processing time (approx. 12 seconds per image).
Successfully distinguished thin vessels from vessel-like noise.

Conclusions:

The proposed B-COSFIRE filter method offers an efficient and accurate solution for retinal vessel segmentation.
The method shows significant potential for application in computer-aided diagnosis systems for eye diseases.
