Function Documentation

function [ outIm , whatScale , Direction ] = FrangiFilter2D	(		I,
			options
	)

This function FRANGIFILTER2D uses the eigenvectors of the Hessian to compute the likeliness of an image region to vessels, according to the method described by Frangi:2001 (Chapter 2).

[J,Scale,Direction] = FrangiFilter2D(I, Options)

inputs, I : The input image (vessel image) Options : Struct with input options, .FrangiScaleRange : The range of sigmas used, default [1 8] .FrangiScaleRatio : Step size between sigmas, default 2 .FrangiBetaOne : Frangi correction constant, default 0.5 .FrangiBetaTwo : Frangi correction constant, default 15 .BlackWhite : Detect black ridges (default) set to true, for white ridges set to false. .verbose : Show debug information, default true

outputs, J : The vessel enhanced image (pixel is the maximum found in all scales) Scale : Matrix with the scales on which the maximum intensity of every pixel is found Direction : Matrix with directions (angles) of pixels (from minor eigenvector)

Example, I=double(imread (vessel.png)); Ivessel=FrangiFilter2D(I); figure, subplot(1,2,1), imshow(I,[]); subplot(1,2,2), imshow(Ivessel,[0 0.25]);
