Abstract(in English) This paper desctibes a PC-based system that is able to automatically assemble color ocular fundus images photographed from different angles by a digital retinal camera. The system matches the locations of retinal vascular node features (crossing or branching) in different images by comparing the correlation values of all nodes in a particular rectangular area with all other nodes in all other rectangular areas. In an experiment involving 28 volunteers, the system successfully reconstructed in real time composite ocular fumdus images using 9 color ocular fum dus images taken of cach volunteer. It was able to match 246 out 252 images and automatically completed 23 composite images without operator intervention. This system is therefore very promising for automatic assembly of color ocular fundus images.
