Statistical distribution of features used to describe retinal tufts. (A) Flat mounted mouse retina stained with lectin (red), where the consensual tuft areas are enhanced in magenta. (B) Zoom in the square area in (A) depicting the subdivision in small squares (1% of Φretina). (C) Violin plots illustrating the distribution of several features computed within the small square regions depicted in (B) Iloc, Ig, and ILoG are normalized quantities, and LBP0 and LBP9 are the fraction of pixels with code 0 and 9 within each region, respectively. We only display features presenting a significant difference between tuft and normal regions. All features are expressed in arbitrary units, and for each one, the similarity between distributions is expressed as the absolute difference between medians normalized by the standard deviation of the values of normal vessels. All of them differ more than one standard deviation.
