Candidate SelectionAs previously mentioned, the shape features are used to describe the SRs of retinal images. In the proposed hierarchical matching structure, we use these features to filter possible candidates in each stage of this structure. The sequence of employed features for filtering the candidates is relied on their abilities and efficiencies. In other words, the more complex and detailed features are applied in the higher steps to compare the SR query with the SR of candidates. In this module, we compare the query SR with the enrolled SR in database using only the region-based shape features. As illustrated in Fig. 7, suppose In each step of the candidate selection module, a number of samples of the most similar candidate SRs among database are selected to feed the next step in this module. Therefore, in each step, we eliminate a constant percentage of remaining most similar candidates from possible search space so that in final step M number of most similar SR candidates will remain for corner matching module.
Corner Matching The goal of corner matching module is matching a point on the boundary of the query SR with its corresponding point on the boundary of the selected candidate SRs by the candidate selection module. For this purpose, we apply angle of SR corner and centroid distance features as it is described in the following. Assume for each candidate for for if end if end for if Eliminate corresponding candidate else Specify the coordinates on the boundary belonging to matched corners in the query SR and its correspondence in the enrolled candidate end if end end
where SR Matching The main goal of SR matching module is matching a SR among remaining candidates with query SR or rejecting the query SR. In Fig. 7, among remaining candidates (utmost
where Now, the most similar enrolled SR in database with the query SR and also their matched corner points have been determined. In this step, we put a threshold to accept or reject the last candidate using weighted corner angle feature while the matched corner point is used to extract the feature from the query as follows,
