dc.description.abstractRetinal vessel keypoint detection and classification is a fundamental step in tracking the physiological changes that occur in the retina which is linked to various retinal and systemic diseases. In this paper, we propose a novel Vessel Keypoint Detector (VKD) which is derived from the projection of log-polar transformed binary patches around vessel points. VKD is used to design a two stage solution for junction detection and classification. In the first stage, the keypoints detected using VKD are refined using curvature orientation information to extract candidate junctions. True junctions from these candidates are identified in a supervised manner using a Random Forest classifier. In the next stage, a novel combination of local orientation and shape based features is extracted from the junction points and classified using a second Random Forest classifier. Evaluation results on five datasets show that the designed system is robust to changes in resolution and other variations across datasets, with average values of accuracy/sensitivity/specificity for junction detection being 0.78/0.79/0.75 and for junction classification being 0.87/0.85/0.88. Our system outperforms the state of the art method [1] by at least 11%, on the DRIVE and IOSTAR datasets. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of VKD for vessel analysis. � 2017 IEEE.en_US
