N2 - Biometric features have been studied in order to be applied to authentication and identification systems due to its reliability. Among others, the retinal vessel tree have been proposed as a vessel pattern for personal authentication applications, since it is almost impossible to forge. In this kind of systems, the retinal vessel tree is computed from the retinal image, and then a registration process is made. Although reliable and remarkable results have been obtained in this vessel pattern-based system, the required computation effort is quite high, particularly to compute and extract the vessel tree. In this paper, a pixel parallel approach is proposed to tackle with the retinal vessel tree extraction to be used in a personal retinal authentication system, regarding the computation speed.
