A Comparative Study of Various Exudate Segmentation Techniques for Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diabetic retinopathy is a health problem which causes blindness in middle and advanced age group. Automatic identification of exudates in retinal images can contribute to early diagnosis of DR. Many approaches in literature are discussed on segmenting the exudates. This paper has shown different techniques of exudates segmentation with its benefits and limitations. All discussed techniques have improved the performance in terms of accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. The comparison has shown that ant colony optimization based segmentation has better results over each technique.

A Study on Automatic Segmentation of Optic Disc in Retinal Fundus Images
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of vision loss in the world among patients suffering from diabetes. DR is a chronic eye disease, which can be controlled by regular checkup & treatment. If left untreated, loss of vision occurs gradually and become blind. The detection and diagnosis of DR is important. DR is characterized by its features like, micro aneurysms (MAs), hemorrhage...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...

Image processing of a fundus image is performed for the early recognition of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy classified in two stages. First is non-proliferative which includes microanearism and when blood vessels are leak and it comes into proliferative stage which is called hemorrhage. In this paper I discussed about detection of hemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy. extraction of he...
