Identification of Diabetic Maculopathy Stages using Fundus Images

Abstract

The impairment and blindness are caused due to Diabetes mellitus. Most of sick person are suffering with impairment diabetes and fifty to sixty percent of ill persons are suffering due to blindness diabetes. Present paper concentrated the identification process of diabetes mellitus using a computer-based intelligent system. The method consists of non-clinically and clinically significant maculopathy and usual eye images. With the help of morphological image processing techniques the fundus are extracted from the usual eye images. Later for comparison the extracted data is applied to classifiers named as (i) feed-forward ANN and (ii) (PNN) probabilistic neural network.
