November Second Week Updates

During this past week, the team worked on apply the regionprops MATLAB function on the retinal images to analyze the image’s area and blood vessel mass. Our code's goal is to grab the entire blood vessel connection in the retinal image. Since it should be the largest object in the image, we used a MATLAB function called regionprops to obtain the area, or size, of each segment, which allowed us to better differentiate blood vessels from the background noise.'regionprops' proved to be effective, but there is still significant unwanted noise in our returned images. In the upcoming weeks, we will continue to work on applying 'regionprop's and thresholding to obtain the most precise blood vessel detection code.
