S(i,j) is line strength of the pixel. L(i,j) is line with the largest average grey level. N(i,j) is the average grey level in the square windows.

Assuming three pixels is considerer: So(i,j) is line strength of the pixel three pixels. Lo (i,j) is line with the largest average grey level. N(i,j) is the average grey level in the square windows.

Experiments
STARE database
20 images 700 x 605 pixels FOV (field of view): 650 x 550 pixels Manually segmented by 2 observers First observer as ground truth
FOV
DRIVE database
40 images 768 x 584 pixels FOV: 540 x 540 pixels 20 images for training set and 20 images for test set Four pathological images in the test set Manually segmented by 2 observers on test set First observer as ground truth

SVM classifier: 20000 manually segmented pixels SVM classifier: 20000 manually segmented pixels from 20 images from 20 training set images
TPR: The true positive rate. FPR: The false positive rate.
13
AUC: the area under the ROC curve ACCURACY: the total NO. of correctly classified pixels / the NO. of pixels in the image FOV.
