scholarly journals Diabetic Retinopathy Detection using Image Processing

The main objective of this method is to detect DR (Diabetic Retinopathy) eye disease using Image Processing techniques. The tool used in this method is MATLAB (R2010a) and it is widely used in image processing. This paper proposes a method for Extraction of Blood Vessels from the medical image of human eye-retinal fundus image that can be used in ophthalmology for detecting DR. This method utilizes an approach of Adaptive Histogram Equalization using CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) algorithm with open CV (Computer Vision) framework implementation. The result shows that affected DR is detected in fundus image and the DR is not detected in the healthy fundus image and 98% of Accuracy can be achieved in the detection of DR.

AbstractDiabetic eye disease (DED) is a cluster of eye problem that affects diabetic patients. Identifying DED is a crucial activity in retinal fundus images because early diagnosis and treatment can eventually minimize the risk of visual impairment. The retinal fundus image plays a significant role in early DED classification and identification. An accurate diagnostic model’s development using a retinal fundus image depends highly on image quality and quantity. This paper presents a methodical study on the significance of image processing for DED classification. The proposed automated classification framework for DED was achieved in several steps: image quality enhancement, image segmentation (region of interest), image augmentation (geometric transformation), and classification. The optimal results were obtained using traditional image processing methods with a new build convolution neural network (CNN) architecture. The new built CNN combined with the traditional image processing approach presented the best performance with accuracy for DED classification problems. The results of the experiments conducted showed adequate accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity.

Diabetic retinopathy is considered to be one of the major causes of blindness among diabetes mellitus patients. Due to diabetic retinopathy blood vessels of retina gets damaged and fat, lipoprotein substances gets leaked out of the damaged blood vessels and are deposited in the intra retinal space. These substances are viewed as yellowish or whitish in color and are termed as exudates. They are the most important visible sign of the presence of diabetic retinopathy. Exudates are of two types, (a) hard exudates and (b) soft exudates. If the disease is not detected in early stages then it may lead to complete loss of vision to the diabetes patients. Detection of exudates is extremely difficult to detect by visual inspection due to small inner diameter of retina and inadequate lighting conditions. An efficient image analysis program can detect the presence effectively. In this paper we have proposed an automatic method for detection of hard exudates. The proposed method exhibits a sensitivity of 97.60% and specificity of 93% and accuracy of 95.70%.

The present study relates to diagnostic devices, and more specifically, to a diabetic retinopathy prediction device, system and method for early prediction of diabetic retinopathy with application of deep learning. The device includes an image capturing device, a memory coupled to processor. The image capturing device obtains a retinal fundus image from the user. The memory comprising executable instructions which upon execution by the processor configures the device to obtain physiological parameters of the user in real-time from the image capturing device, retrieve the obtained retinal fundus image and the one or more obtained physiological parameters and compare the one or more extracted features with at least one pre-stored feature in a database to generate at least a prediction result indicative of detection of the presence, the progression or the treatment effect of the disease in the user.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is eye diseases caused by diabetic mellitus or sugar diseases. If DR is detected in early stage, the blindness that follow can be prevented. Ophthalmologist or eye clinician usually decide the stage of DR from retinal fundus images. Careful examination of retinal fundus images is time consuming task and require experienced clinicians or ophthalmologist but a computer which has been trained to recognize the DR stages can diagnose and give result in real-time manner. One approach of algorithm to train a computer to recognize an image is deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). CNN allows a computer to learn the features of an image, in our case is retinal fundus image, automatically. Preprocessing is usually done before a CNN model is trained. In this study, four preprocessing were carried out. Of the four preprocessing tested, preprocessing with CLAHE and unsharp masking on the green channel of the retinal fundus image give the best results with an accuracy of 79.79%, 82.97% precision, 74.64% recall, and 95.81% AUC. The CNN architecture used is Inception v3.
