dc.description.abstractRetinal blood vessels are directly or indirectly associated with many diseases. The retinal blood vessels consist of artery and vein vessels. With the automatic correct identification of these vessels, many diseases can be prevented. In this paper, a method is proposed to separate between arteries and veins on retinal blood vessel images. In the proposed method, firstly, the image preprocessing step is applied. Then, image patches are obtained from pre-processed retinal fundus images. These patches are prepared as input to the deep learning network architecture. The proposed deep learning network architecture is presented as a new CNN architecture. This architecture decides whether the blood vessel pixels in the fundus image are arteries or veins. The proposed method was evaluated on publicly available given DRIVE, INSPIRE datasets, and the recently created LES-AV dataset. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated by using the most commonly used sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy performance measures. The accuracy measure for all vessel pixels is 0.9110 for DRIVE, 0.9654 for INSPIRE, and 0.9531 for LES-AV dataset. The proposed method is compared with other state-of-the-art artery/vein separation methods. The experimental results of the proposed method are promising. This method is suitable for automatic artery/vein separation.en_US
