Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a damage of the retina and it is one of the serious consequences of the diabetes. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy is extremely important in order to prevent premature visual loss and blindness. This paper presents a novel automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy in eye fundus images using fuzzy image processing. The detection of maculopathy is essential as it will eventually cause loss of vision if the affected macula is not timely treated. The developed system consists of image acquisition, image preprocessing with a combination of fuzzy techniques, feature extraction, and image classification by using several machine learning techniques. The fuzzy-based image processing decision support system will assist in the diabetic retinopathy screening and reduce the burden borne by the screening team.
