Automated detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy using a modified line operator and dual classification

Automated detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy using a modified line operator and dual classification

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a condition that carries a high risk of severe visual impairment. The hallmark of PDR is neovascularisation, the growth of abnormal new vessels. This paper describes an automated method for the detection of new vessels in retinal images. Two vessel segmentation approaches are applied, using the standard line operator and a novel modified line operator...

The automated detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy using dual ensemble classification

Objective: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a retinal vascular disease that is caused by complications of diabetes. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the advanced stage of the disease which carries a high risk of severe visual impairment. This stage is characterized by the growth of abnormal new vessels. We aim to develop a method for the automated detection of new vessels from retinal im...

Automated detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy from retinal images

Genetic algorithm based feature selection combined with dual classification for the automated detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a condition that carries a high risk of severe visual impairment. The hallmark of PDR is the growth of abnormal new vessels. In this paper, an automated method for the detection of new vessels from retinal images is presented. This method is based on a dual classification approach. Two vessel segmentation approaches are applied to create two separate ...

Automated Detection and Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy using Morphological processing and Support Vector Machine

The Digital image processing helps the ophthalmologists in distinguishing the vascular irregularities in order to detect some disorders related to retina like Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and Glaucoma etc., which can cause visual impairments. The retinal fundus images of the patients are procured by capturing the fundus of the eye with a digital fondues cam...
