Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for detecting vessels in an image and a system therefor, wherein said image may be any image comprising vessels, in particular an image from medical image diagnostics, and more particularly an ocular fundus image. The method includes tracking vessel segments from starting points, wherein the tracking process correlates identified vessel segments with estimated values for the vessel segments. Also the invention provides a validation of tracked vessels when the tracking process stops due to stop criteria.
