Measurement of Corneal Neovascularisation with the Use of Image Processing Techniques

The aim of the article is to present the developed technique to measure the degree of neovascularisation of the cornea image in visible light. The study used an image sensor attached to a slit lamp. The proposed technique consists in performing segmentation of the color image to enhance blood vessels and setting values of the degree of cornea neovascularisation. Comparison of the indicator before and after treatment of the cornea can objectively assess the effectiveness of the adopted method of treatment.
