A novel on 2 D Modeling for Width Measurement from Retinal Vessel

Now a day the diseases such as arteriosclerosis, Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension are identified by the diameter of the retinal vessel. Some important changes in the vessel diameter of the retina make the sign of all the above mentioned diseases. The perfect measurements obtained from the vascular width of the retinal vessel image makes the critical as well as the demanding process taken place in the retina which is an automated vessel image. Any changes in the retinal vessel image taken place by using the width in 2D modeling identified the affected area in the vessel image and it demanded the critical portion in the form of automated image taken from retina. The pixels values are taken from the retinal image of the typical vessels make the analysis report which includes all the affected particles. This novel deals an algorithm that which measures the width of the retinal vessel in 2D analysis by using pixels in the form of sub pixel accuracy. The intensity of the retinal vessel segment is realized by diameter measurement and it is modeled in Gaussian model with 2 dimensional representations. In our method 150 samples of retinal vessel is taken in the width measurement then its result is compared with the previous methods based on the comparison our proposed method is 78 percent accurate other than all the existing methods. The comparison was done by sub pixel values so all profiles parameters are verified very accurate in this method.
