Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Blood vessel extraction is one important component technology of computer-aided diagnosis for retinal fundus images. This paper proposes a novel method based on morphology filter bank for the extraction of vessel regions in retinal fundus images. Morphology filter bank is a vessel extraction method using the top-hat transformation, which can make the multi-resolution representation such as wavelet analysis. Nodular patterns and linear patterns of various sizes can be enhanced using this method. We applied our method to five images of STARE database. The results indicated that mean area under the ROC curve was 0.9031. Therefore, our method would be useful for the extraction of blood vessels in retinal fundus images.
