Previous Work (at University of Sao Paulo)

Retinal vessel segmentation using wavelets and statistical classifiers    During my M.Sc., I worked on segmenting the blood vessel networks in retinal images. The segmentations then went through automated shape analysis, with the main goal of assisting in automated diabetic retinopathy screening. See more at the project's website.
