Abstract
Multifractal characteristics of the retinal vascular networks in healthy patients and patients with peripapillary atrophy (PPA) are compared in the paper. Segmented and skeletonized fundus images from the DRIVE database were analyzed over the image region corresponding to the macular area and over the whole image. The regional and overall multifractal characteristics of fundi could serve as further clues in detecting human PPA and for quantifying the pathological stages of PPA cases.
