We present three strategies for morphologic image processing of a fundus image reconstructed from OCT scans. A specificity of initial image processing for fundus reconstruction is analysed. Then, the parameterization step is performed based on the vessels segmented with the proposed algorithm. The influence of various methods on the vessel segmentation and fully automatic vessel measurement is analysed. Experiments were carried out with a set of 3D OCT scans obtained from 24 eyes (12 healthy volunteers) with the use of an Avanti RTvue OCT device. The results of automatic vessel segmentation were numerically compared with those prepared manually by the medical doctor experts.}, type={Article}, title={Measurement of retina vessels by segmentation of images reconstructed from optical coherence tomography data}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/113100/PDF/01_MMS_3_INTERNET.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2019.129581}, keywords={optical coherence tomography, image processing, mathematical morphology, vessel segmentation}, }
