A Hybrid Neurofuzzy System for Contrast Enhancement of Fundus Images in Diabetic Retinopathies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the field of diabetic retinopathies attention has been recently focused on the problem of obtaining an accurate diabetic ocular diagnosis. In this paper a contribution in the detection of diabetic symptoms using contrast enhancement of fundus images is proposed by synthesizing an “ad hoc” neurofuzzy system. A fuzzy technique is considered to develop a suitable coding of fuzzy rules. A sparsely-connected neural network is then synthesized to provide enhanced contrast retinal images with bimodal histograms. Experimental examples are reported.

Automatic Detection of Microaneurysms in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform Method
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious and most frequent eye diseases in the world and the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Following 15 years of diabetes, about 2% of the diabetic patients are blind and 10% suffer from vision impairment due to DR complications. This paper addresses the automatic detection of microaneurysms (MA...
متن کاملEarly Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fluorescent Angiography Retinal Images Using Image Processing Methods
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...
متن کاملRetinal vasculature enhancement using independent component analysis
Retinal vasculature is a network of vessels in the retinal layer. In ophthalmology, information of retinal vasculature in analyzing fundus images is important for early detection of diseases related to the retina, e.g. diabetic retinopathy. However, in fundus images the contrast between retinal vasculature and the background is very low. As a result, analyzing or visualizing tiny retinal vascul...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Processing of Fundus Images and Morphological Techniques
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is the damaging effect of diabetes on retinal blood vessels that can cause blindness when diagnosed late. Microaneurysms are early signs of the disease that their early diagnosis promotes timely treatment and prevents disease progression. Since this disease is asymptomatic and can only be detected by ophthalmologists, diabetic patients should be tested regular...
