Analyzing Patterns In Digital Images

**Digital Retina Imaging Blood Vessel Analysis Module.** **Project g**oal: ? Createsoftware to find Intersections where the Dark Veins are UNDER the lighterarteries and at which the veins are Pinched and forming a particular geometricpattern we call Nicking. The nicking will be quantified by a programmer devisedformula which will measure changes in vessel diameter and other patterns formedby the vessel crossings. We will also analyzecrossings where the veins are over the arteries and this will form a differentpattern for detection and quantification. At this time,we anticipate seeking the detection of 4 distinct blood vessel patternsand their quantifications (at these crossings).? The image at the leftis a sample. ? Actual images will be much larger with higher resolution. The project willinclude the creation of a database for storage and retrieval of thisdata.? If you feel that youare qualified to participate in this project, ? please share with us abrief summary of how you propose to do this work and any similar work you mighthave done. ? For example: ? we have received a suggestion that RoadNavigational software can be adapted for this purpose with some obviouslyneeded enhancements.? Thank you, Dr Joe Ross ? ## Deliverables Once a coder is selected, ? a detailed explanation of what we expect the code to do will be provided. ? We will then have a dialog to be sure this is clear before any coding begins. A sample image of that to be analyzed is attached here.
