Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious eye disease caused to human beings having diabetics. DR will affect the retina of the eye and even it may lead to complete blindness. It is essential to have an early treatment for the diagnosis of DR to avoid blindness. There are many physical tests like visual test, pupil dilation to detect retinopathy but all are time consuming processes. For diabetic retinopathy, it needs a continuous monitoring process. The main objective of this work is to detect diabetic maculopathy which is one of the major retinal abnormalities found among diabetic persons. Diabetic maculopathy is detected using image processing technique. In image processing techniques, we use image pre processing to reduce the noise and use segmentation process to extract the features of the macula. After that the features are compared using the classifier algorithm and the performances are measured using the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
