Automated Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy using Medical Image Processing Techniques

Abstract

Glaucoma is an eye disease that can result in blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. Diabetic related eye diseases like Diabetic Retinopathy , Diabetic Maculopathy are major cause of blindness. Early detection of diabetic diseases plays an important role to prevent blindness. In last few years there are several researches done in medical image processing and detection from the fund us images such as Optic disk and the retinal vessels done in the automated detection of Diabetic retinopathy , Diabetic Maculopathy . This research paper represents the methods which are used in the automated detection of diabetic retinopathy. The recent methods used to detect the factors like hemorrhages and Micro Aneurysms are also discussed in this paper
