To improve the accuracy of retinal blood vessel segmentation,an improved RAIterNet cascaded retinal blood vessel segmentation and tracking algorithm was proposed,and the image enhancement and accuracy improvement were performed re-spectively in the preprocessing and segmentation network model stages.The adaptive fractional differential was used to enhance the data set to be segmented to improve the quality of the blood vessel image and the contrast between the blood vessel and the background of the image to be segmented.The improved RAIterNet model was used to segment the retina.The end capillaries of the weak structure were tracked based on the continuous tracking method,which effectively segmented the tiny blood vessels in the retina that were difficult to segment.The algorithm was tested on the data set DRIVE.Experimental results show that the Acc can reach 0.9650,the F1 score is 0.9006,and the area under the AU-ROC curve of 0.9807 is obtained.The subjective and objective results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.
