Abstract:
The paper presents a method of isolating the central lines of blood vessels in biomedical diagnostic images, based on the use of global optimization methods applying the shortest-path search algorithm according to the Dijkstra graph. The optimized functional is formed on the basis of an indistinct directional field based on the original image.

Keywords:
blood vessels, biomedical diagnostic image, algorithm according to the Dijkstra graph, original image
