Abstract :
The usefulness of applying digital processing to eye-fundus images in order to obtain an accurate temporal monitoring of the pathology under examination is evaluated. In particular, an automatic segmentation algorithm that makes it possible to extract specific features for the pathology and then to characterize it in terms of dimensional parameters is presented. Some results for a case of type-2 Hayreh vasculity are reported and discussed
