Abstract:
Retinopathy is an acute disease to retina of a human. Retina of a person gets affected due to lifestyle diseases like diabetics and hypertension known as diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy respectively. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of global blindness. The World Health Organization has launched “Vision 2020”, a global initiative for the prevention of avoidable visual impairment by the year 2020. Early detection of features often not directly discernible by clinical investigation has the potential to reduce the global burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Fundus photography has made it possible to analyse human retina noninvasively. Engineering tools such as digital image processing combined with advanced machine learning allow identification and automated classification of features like optic disk, macula and blood vessels, lesions and retinal blood vessel changes named microanurysms, haemorrhages, cotton wool spots, hard exudates, venous beading in digital images of the retina. Online databases like DRIVE, HRF, VICAR, Image ret along with ground truths are made available for researchers to work on and compare their results with state-of-the-art methods.
