作者：

Highlights：

• Automated system for interactive/batch processing of large number of retinal images.

• Extract useful quantifiable measurements of retinal vessel morphology.

• Modules for vessel segmentation, width, tortuosity measurement at sub-pixel accuracy.

• Components for artery/vein classification, OD localisation, tortuosity measurement.

• Epidemiological study of association of vessel morphology with disease precursor.
