Abstract:
The paper proposes a technology for evaluating diagnostic parameters of blood vessels in the area of the optic nerve disc based on the segmentation method. The geometric characteristics of the selected areas of blood vessels and the area of the optic nerve head are calculated. The dependence of the algorithm efficiency was studied under the influence of various types of noise and distortions on the synthesized and full-scale diagnostic images.

Keywords:
diagnostic of blood vessels, segmentation method, area of the optic nerve head are, full-scale diagnostic images
