Robust model-based vasculature detection in noisy biomedical images.

This paper presents a set of algorithms for robust detection of vasculature in noisy retinal video images. Three methods are studied for effective handling of outliers. The first method is based on Huber's censored likelihood ratio test. The second is based on the use of a α -trimmed test stati...
