Abstract

Diabetic-related eye disease is a major cause of preventable blindness in the world. It is a complication of diabetes which can also affect various parts of the body. The detection of microaneurysms in digital color fundus photographs is a critical first step in automated screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR), a common complication of diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the damage caused by complications of diabetes to the retina. It is one of the leading causes of blindness across the world. Hence, an accurate, premature diagnosis of DR is an essential task because of its potentiality for reducing the number of cases of blindness across the globe. In this paper we present a procedure to detect the presences of abnormalities in the retina such as microaneurysms, exudates using image processing techniques.
