Abstract Purpose – Diabetes is a chronic disease, that leads to damage of many systems of the body. One of the dangerous complications of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. Frequent inspection for diabetic retinopathy is essential to recognize patients at risk of visual impairment. The disease grade level must be tracked to manage its progress and to start the appropriate decision for treatment in time. Effective automated methods for the detection of diabetic retinopathy and the classification of its severity stage are necessary. It also helps to decrease the burden on ophthalmologists and reduce diagnostic contradictions among manual readers. Methods– In this research, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used based on color retinal fundus images for the detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and classification of its stages. CNN can recognize sophisticated features on the retina and so provide an automatic diagnosis. The pre-trained CNN model Visual Geometry Group (VGG) is applied on DR data using a transfer learning approach to utilize the already learnt parameters based on 1,000,000 images of ImageNet with 1000 classes.Results – By conducting different experiments with different classes setting the built models achieved promising results. The best achieved accuracies for 2-ary, 3-ary, 4-ary, and 5-ary classification are 85.99, 80.5, 61.28, and 71, respectively.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a dangerous eye condition that affects diabetic patients. Without early detection, it can affect the retina and may eventually cause permanent blindness. The early diagnosis of DR is crucial for its treatment. However, the diagnosis of DR is a very difficult process that requires an experienced ophthalmologist. A breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence called deep learning can help in giving the ophthalmologist a second opinion regarding the classification of the DR by using an autonomous classifier. To accurately train a deep learning model to classify DR, an enormous number of images is required, and this is an important limitation in the DR domain. Transfer learning is a technique that can help in overcoming the scarcity of images. The main idea that is exploited by transfer learning is that a deep learning architecture, previously trained on non-medical images, can be fine-tuned to suit the DR dataset. This paper reviews research papers that focus on DR classification by using transfer learning to present the best existing methods to address this problem. This review can help future researchers to find out existing transfer learning methods to address the DR classification task and to show their differences in terms of performance.

Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a medical condition that damages eye retinal tissues. Diabetic retinopathy leads to mild to complete blindness. It has been a leading cause of global blindness. The identification and categorization of DR take place through the segmentation of parts of the fundus image or the examination of the fundus image for the incidence of exudates, lesions, microaneurysms, and so on. This research aims to study and summarize various recent proposed techniques applied to automate the process of classification of diabetic retinopathy. In the current study, the researchers focused on the concept of classifying the DR fundus images based on their severity level. Emphasis is on studying papers that proposed models developed using transfer learning. Thus, it becomes vital to develop an automatic diagnosis system to support physicians in their work.

In the field of ophthalmology, diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of blindness. DR is based on retinal lesions including exudate. Exudates have been found to be one of the signs and serious DR anomalies, so the proper detection of these lesions and the treatment should be done immediately to prevent loss of vision. In this paper, pretrained convolutional neural network- (CNN-) based framework has been proposed for the detection of exudate. Recently, deep CNNs were individually applied to solve the specific problems. But, pretrained CNN models with transfer learning can utilize the previous knowledge to solve the other related problems. In the proposed approach, initially data preprocessing is performed for standardization of exudate patches. Furthermore, region of interest (ROI) localization is used to localize the features of exudates, and then transfer learning is performed for feature extraction using pretrained CNN models (Inception-v3, Residual Network-50, and Visual Geometry Group Network-19). Moreover, the fused features from fully connected (FC) layers are fed into the softmax classifier for exudate classification. The performance of proposed framework has been analyzed using two well-known publicly available databases such as e-Ophtha and DIARETDB1. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed pretrained CNN-based framework outperforms the existing techniques for the detection of exudates.

Diabetes occurs due to the excess of glucose in the blood that may affect many organs of the body. The increase in blood sugar in the body causes many problems. One of the most prominent of these problems is Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). DR occurs due to the mutilation of the blood vessels in a retina. The detection of DR is complicated and time-consuming due to its features for the ophthalmologists. Therefore, automatic detection is required, recently different machine and deep learning techniques are being applied to detect and classify DR. In this paper, we conducted a study of the various techniques available in the literature for the identification/classification of DR, the datasets used, strengths and weaknesses of each method and provides the future directions. Moreover, we also discussed the different steps for the detection that are segmentation of blood vessels in a retina, detecting lesions and other abnormalities of DR in binary and multiclass classification.

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.
