Received 31 July 1981; revised 1 December 1981. Available online 19 May 2003.
We have studied some fundamental problems towards the understanding of color ocular fundus 
images which are used in the mass diagnosis of adult diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
These problems are: the extraction of blood vessels from the retinal background; the recognition of arteries and veins; the detection and analysis of peculiar regions such as hemorrhages, exudates, optic discs and arterio-venous crossings.
We propose a computer method for each of these problems and show some experimental results.
