Diabetes is characterized by impaired metabolism of glucose caused by insulin deficiency. Diabetic retinopathy is the eye disease, is caused by retinal damage which is generally formed as a result of diabetes mellitus. It is a serious vascular disorder for which early detection and the treatment are required to inhibit the intense vision loss. Also, the diagnosis entails skilled professionals for detection because non-automatic screening methods are very time consuming and are not that efficient for a large number of retinal images. This paper provides a broad review of various techniques and methodologies used by the authors for diabetic retinopathy detection and classification. Furthermore, most recent work and developments are studied in this paper. We are proposing an advanced deep learning CNN approach for automatic diagnosis of DR from color fundus images.

Abstract Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a medical condition, also known as diabetic eye disease, which is vision-threatening damage to the retina of the eye caused by diabetes. As the technology advances, researchers are becoming more interested in intelligent medical diagnosis systems to assist screening of DR in earlier stages. In this study, variety of state-of-the-art procedures are used to extract the anatomic segments and lesions from the color fundus images. In addition, an automated system is proposed for the detection of anatomic segments and lesions by grading approach to help clinical diagnosis of the DR analysis. Four publicly available databases of color fundus images and various appropriate measurement techniques are used to compare quantitatively the performance of the proposed system. The experiments conducted on DIARETDB0, DIARETDB1, STARE, and HRF data sets have proved that accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the proposed system are comparable or superior to state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper, an automated system for grading the severity level of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) disease based on fundus images is presented. Features are extracted using fast discrete curvelet transform. These features are applied to hierarchical support vector machine (SVM) classifier to obtain four types of grading levels, namely, normal, mild, moderate and severe. These grading levels are determined based on the number of anomalies such as microaneurysms, hard exudates and haemorrhages that are present in the fundus image. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated using fundus images from the Messidor database. Experiment results show that the proposed system can achieve an accuracy rate of 86.23%.

Automatic Detection and Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy from Retinal Fundus Images by Abdullah Biran, Master of Applied Science, lectrical and computer engineering Department, Ryerson University, 2017. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease that leads to blindness when it progresses to proliferative level. The earliest signs of DR are the appearance of red and yellow lesions on the retina called hemorrhages and exudates. Early diagnosis of DR prevents from blindness. In this thesis, an automatic algorithm for detecting diabetic retinopathy is presented. The algorithm is based on combination of several image processing techniques including Circular Hough Transform (CHT), Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE), Gabor filter and thresholding. In addition, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify retinal images into normal or abnormal cases of DR including non-proliferative (NPDR) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The proposed method has been tested on fundus images from Standard Diabetic Retinopathy Database (DIARETDB). The implementation of the presented methodology was done in MATLAB. The methodology is tested for sensitivity and accuracy.

Reliable detection of abnormal vessels in color fundus image is still a great issue in medical image processing. An Efficient and robust approach for automatic detection of abnormal blood vessels in digital color fundus images is presented in this paper. First, the fundus images are preprocessed by applying a 3x3 median filter. Then, the images are segmented using a novel morphological operation. To classify these segmented image into normal and abnormal, seven features based on shape, contrast, position and density are extracted. Finally, these features are classified using a non-linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) Classifier. The average computation time for blood vessel detection was less than 2.4sec with a success rate of 99%. The performance of our proposed method is measured on publically available DRIVE and STARE database.
