Abstract
Retinal Vessel detection is one of the most studied fields of vessel detection. Study of retina is important as it can help to the diagnosis of many diseases. In this article a combinational algorithm which is based on Gabor wavelet and classification is modified. The modified algorithm gains more than 2% accuracy and outperforms the first algorithm.
