Abstract

Diabetes is the most common disease which occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin. It gradually affects the retina of the human eye. As this disease aggravates, the vision of the patient starts deteriorating which ends up in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). 80 % of all the patients who have had diabetes for 10 plus years are affected by this DR disease which can also lead to the vision loss. In this regard, the early detection of DR is hoped to help the patients from vision loss. In this paper, an attempt is made to propose a system for automatic classification of normal and abnormal retinal fundus images by detecting exudates and microaneurysms. Some other features like area of exudates, number of microaneurysms, entropy, homogeneity, contrast and energy are also calculated. The extracted features are fed to SVM classifier for automatic classification. The paper is based on secondary data gathered from different sources.
