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.

Retinal vessels ID means to isolate the distinctive retinal configuration issues, either wide or restricted from fundus picture foundation, for example, optic circle, macula, and unusual sores. Retinal vessels recognizable proof investigations are drawing in increasingly more consideration today because of pivotal data contained in structure which is helpful for the identification and analysis of an assortment of retinal pathologies included yet not restricted to: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, hypertension, and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). With the advancement of right around two decades, the inventive methodologies applying PC supported systems for portioning retinal vessels winding up increasingly significant and coming nearer. Various kinds of retinal vessels segmentation strategies discussed by using Deep Learning methods. At that point, the pre-processing activities and the best in class strategies for retinal vessels distinguishing proof are presented.

Diabetes is a global disease that occurs when the body is disabled pancreas to secrete insulin to convert the sugar to power in the blood. As a result, some tiny blood vessels on the part of the body, such as the eyes, are affected by high sugar and cause blocking blood flow in the vessels, which is called diabetic retinopathy.  This disease may lead to permanent blindness due to the growth of new vessels in the back of the retina causing it to detach from the eyes. In 2016, 387 million people were diagnosed with Diabetic retinopathy, and the number is growing yearly, and the old detection approach becomes worse. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to computerize the old method of detecting different classes of DR from 0-4 according to severity by given fundus images. The method is to construct a fine-tuned deep learning model based on transfer learning with dense layers. The used models here are InceptionV3, VGG16, and ResNet50 with a sharpening filter. Subsequently, InceptionV3 has achieved 94% as the highest accuracy among other models.

Marine litter (ML) accumulation in the coastal zone has been recognized as a major problem in our time, as it can dramatically affect the environment, marine ecosystems, and coastal communities. Existing monitoring methods fail to respond to the spatiotemporal changes and dynamics of ML concentrations. Recent works showed that unmanned aerial systems (UAS), along with computer vision methods, provide a feasible alternative for ML monitoring. In this context, we proposed a citizen science UAS data acquisition and annotation protocol combined with deep learning techniques for the automatic detection and mapping of ML concentrations in the coastal zone. Five convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained to classify UAS image tiles into two classes: (a) litter and (b) no litter. Testing the CCNs’ generalization ability to an unseen dataset, we found that the VVG19 CNN returned an overall accuracy of 77.6% and an f-score of 77.42%. ML density maps were created using the automated classification results. They were compared with those produced by a manual screening classification proving our approach’s geographical transferability to new and unknown beaches. Although ML recognition is still a challenging task, this study provides evidence about the feasibility of using a citizen science UAS-based monitoring method in combination with deep learning techniques for the quantification of the ML load in the coastal zone using density maps.
