Generation of Cryptographic Key from Eye Biometric Features
Semerád, Lukáš ; Hájek, Josef (referee) ; Drahanský, Martin (advisor)
The main topic of the thesis is creation of formulas for the amount of information entropy in biometric characteristics of iris and retina. This field of science in biometrics named above is unstudied yet, so the thesis tries to initiate research in this direction. The thesis also discusses the historical context of security and identification fields according to biometric characteristics of a human being with an overlap for potential usage in biometrics of iris and retina. The Daugman’s algorithm for converting iris image into the binary code which can be used as a cryptographic key is discussed in detail. An application implementing this conversion is also a part of the thesis.

Experiments with Images of Eye Retina
Floryček, Jan ; Orság, Filip (referee) ; Fiala, Jiří (advisor)
The layout of blood vessels in human eye retina is one of the important physiological biometric characteristics of every individual. The processing of color retinal images and extraction of the blood vessel structure is an important phase in diagnostics of many eye diseases as well as in gathering biometric data. An automatic method for image processing, extracting the blood vessel structure and saving a template for usage in a biometric system will be described in this bachelor thesis. The method was developed and tested on actual retinal images acquired by digital fundus camera and it was implemented in language C++ with the use of OpenCV library. This thesis also contains a brief introduction to biometrics, computer graphics and medicine.

Analysis of Retinal Image Data to Support Glaucoma Diagnosis
Odstrčilík, Jan ; Kybic, Jan (referee) ; Matula,, Petr (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
Fundus kamera je široce dostupné zobrazovací zařízení, které umožňuje relativně rychlé a nenákladné vyšetření zadního segmentu oka – sítnice. Z těchto důvodů se mnoho výzkumných pracovišť zaměřuje právě na vývoj automatických metod diagnostiky nemocí sítnice s využitím fundus fotografií. Tato dizertační práce analyzuje současný stav vědeckého poznání v oblasti diagnostiky glaukomu s využitím fundus kamery a navrhuje novou metodiku hodnocení vrstvy nervových vláken (VNV) na sítnici pomocí texturní analýzy. Spolu s touto metodikou je navržena metoda segmentace cévního řečiště sítnice, jakožto další hodnotný příspěvek k současnému stavu řešené problematiky. Segmentace cévního řečiště rovněž slouží jako nezbytný krok předcházející analýzu VNV. Vedle toho práce publikuje novou volně dostupnou databázi snímků sítnice se zlatými standardy pro účely hodnocení automatických metod segmentace cévního řečiště.

Image Registration - Application in ophthalmology and ultrasonography
Harabiš, Vratislav ; Matula,, Petr (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
Image registration is widely used in clinical practice. However image registration and its~evaluation is still challenging especially with regards to new possibilities of various modalities. One of these areas is contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging. The time-dependent image contrast, low signal-to-noise ratio and specific speckle pattern make preprocessing and image registration difficult. In this thesis a method for registration of images in ultrasound contrast-enhanced sequences is proposed. The method is based on automatic fragmentation into image subsequences in which the images with similar characteristics are registered. The new evaluation method based on comparison of perfusion model is proposed. Registration and evaluation method was tested on a flow phantom and real patient data and compared with a standard methods proposed i literature. The second part of this thesis contains examples of application of image registration in~ophthalmology and proposition for its improvement. In this area the image registration methods are widely used, especially landmark based image registration method. In this thesis methods for landmark detection and its correspondence estimation are proposed.

Diseases diagnosing from the retina images for the digital image processing
Chmurová, Anna ; Jan, Jiří (referee) ; Taševský, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor’s paper deals with the scanning of fundus using a fundus camera. It also contains the list of some retinal diseases which visibly appear on fundus. Moreover, every disease is illustrated with pictures showing the symptoms of the given disease. These pictures include separated RGB channel layers. Consequently, the pictures of fundus are filtrated by function created in MATLAB in order to make the symptoms as visible as possible.

Criterial function for retinal image registration
Horáková, Pavla ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
This bachelor‘s thesis is focused on comparison criterial functions, which are usually used in registration of retinal images. Criterial functions reflect degree of images’ sameness thereby they influence proper registration considerably. The aim of this thesis is to discover criterial function, which is the best for image registration of retina. Registration of images is very difficult; it is important to get some informations such as an uniqueness or a shape of function.

Texture Analysis of Ophthalmologic Images
Kaňka, Jan ; Odstrčilík, Jan (referee) ; Jan, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is concerned with creating of software for textural analysis of retinal images by statistic method called co-occurrence matrices as possible alternative method to detection of lesion of retina by the glaucoma diseases. The Glaucoma diseases without well-timed diagnostics and consequential treatment leads to blindness. The retinal images captured by fundus camera are common, easily processable and modern devices are able to make images of 10 Mpix resolution and bigger, what specifies outputs of analytic software. Method of co-occurrence analysis is simple and effective statistic. But computing demandingness, showing up with growing objective quality, comming up as disadvantage.

Retinal biometry for human recognition
Sikorová, Eva ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Odstrčilík, Jan (advisor)
This master thesis deals with recognition of a person by comparing symptom sets extracted from images of the retinal vessels pattern. The first part includes the insight into biometric issues, the punctual analysis of human identification using retina images, and especially the literature research of methods of extraction and comparison. In the practical part there were realized algorithms for human identification with the method of nearest neighbor search (NS), translation, template matching (TM) and extended NS and TM including more symptoms, for which MATLAB program was used. The thesis includes testing of suggested programs on the biometric database of symptomatic vectors with the following evaluation.

Advanced processing of ophthalmologic videosequences of retinal images
Říha, Pavel ; Odstrčilík, Jan (referee) ; Jan, Jiří (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with registration and analysis of images from the experimental low-cost fundus camera that reaches a low SNR (around 10 dB) and low temporal and spatial resolution. The aim of the diploma tesis is to explore the possibilities of digital processing leading to the creation of a videosequence that has real benefits for medical diagnostics. The well-known program elastix is used for registration. Preprocessing filters and interpolation are implemented in Matlab. The program provides a wide range of setting options, out of which many combinations were tested and evaluated. To assess the accuracy achieved, spatial variations in the detected motion of blood-vessels are evaluated. Best results with a precision below 0.3 px were achieved by using a band-pass filter, a~suitably sized mask, rigid registration and a metric of the mutual information. Test sequences were registered precisely enough both for visual assessment and basic computational analysis. Registered sequences and the developed application that both can be used in the further development of the experimental camera are the main contributions of the diploma thesis.
