摘要

Diabetes is a very fast-growing disease in India, with currently more than 72 million patients. Prolonged diabetes (about almost 20 years) can cause serious loss to the tiny blood vessels and neurons in the patient eyes, called diabetic retinopathy (DR). This first causes occlusion and then rapid vision loss. The symptoms of the disease are not very conspicuous in its early stage. The disease is featured by the formation of bloated structures in the retinal area called microaneurysms. Because of negligence, the condition of the eye worsens into the generation of more severe blots and damage to retinal vessels causing complete loss of vision. Early screening and monitoring of DR can reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with high possibilities. But the diabetic retinopathy detection and its classification by a human, is a challenging and error-prone task, because of the complexity of the image captured by color fundus photography. Machine learning algorithms armed with some feature extraction techniques have been employed earlier to detect and classify the levels of DR. However, these techniques provide below-par accuracy. Now, with the advent of deep learning (DL) techniques in computer vision, it has become possible to achieve very high levels of accuracy. DL models are an abstraction of the human brain coupled with the eyes. To create a model from scratch and train it is a cumbersome task requiring a huge amount of images. This deficiency of the DL techniques can be patched up by employing another technique to a task called transfer learning. In this, a DL model is trained on image metadata, and to learn features it used hundreds of classes from the DR fundus images. This enables professionals to create models capable of classifying unseen images into a proper grade or level with acceptable accuracy. This paper proposed a DL model coupled with different classifiers to classify the fundus image into its correct class of severity. We have trained the model on IDRD images and it has proven to show very high accuracy.
