Study Results

Applying machine learning in life sciences, especially diagnostics, has become a key area of focus for researchers. Combining machine learning with traditional algorithms provides a unique opportunity of providing better solutions for the patients. In this paper, we present study results of applying the Ridgelet Transform method on retina images to enhance the blood vessels, then using machine learning algorithms to identify cases of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). The Ridgelet transform provides better results for line singularity of image function and, thus, helps to reduce artefacts along the edges of the image. The Ridgelet Transform method, when compared with earlier known methods of image enhancement, such as Wavelet Transform and Contourlet Transform, provided satisfactory results. The transformed image using the Ridgelet Transform method with pre-processing quantifies the amount of information in the dataset. It efficiently enhances the generation of features vectors in the convolution neural network (CNN). In this study, a sample of fundus photographs was processed, which was obtained from a publicly available dataset. In pre-processing, first, CLAHE was applied, followed by filtering and application of Ridgelet transform on the patches to improve the quality of the image. Then, this processed image was used for statistical feature detection and classified by deep learning method to detect DR images from the dataset. The successful classification ratio was 98.61%. This result concludes that the transformed image of fundus using the Ridgelet Transform enables better detection by leveraging a transform-based algorithm and the deep learning.

The diagnosing features for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) comprises of features occurring in and around the regions of blood vessel zone which will result into exudes, hemorrhages, microaneurysms and generation of textures on the albumen region of eye balls. In this study we presenta probabilistic convolution neural network based algorithms, utilized for the extraction of such features from the retinal images of patient’s eyeballs. The classifications proficiency of various DR systems is tabulated and examined. The majority of the reported systems are profoundly advanced regarding the analyzed fundus images is catching up to the human ophthalmologist’s characterization capacities.

Damage of blood vessels in retina due to diabetes is known as diabetic retinopathy. It is one of the one of the important origins of blindness for adults. Loss of vision can be avoided by detecting damage of retina (leaking fluid or blood). Efficient local cloud-based solution for diabetic retinopathy detection is designed in the work, where convolution neural network is used for training and classification module and achieved an accuracy of 86% using kappa metric. Fundus images are used for training and classification. System network architecture is derived from VGGNet. Network is trained using 80,000 images. Since everything is automated, a doctor is only required for treatment, not for diagnosis.

Retinal vessels ID means to isolate the distinctive retinal configuration issues, either wide or restricted from fundus picture foundation, for example, optic circle, macula, and unusual sores. Retinal vessels recognizable proof investigations are drawing in increasingly more consideration today because of pivotal data contained in structure which is helpful for the identification and analysis of an assortment of retinal pathologies included yet not restricted to: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, hypertension, and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). With the advancement of right around two decades, the inventive methodologies applying PC supported systems for portioning retinal vessels winding up increasingly significant and coming nearer. Various kinds of retinal vessels segmentation strategies discussed by using Deep Learning methods. At that point, the pre-processing activities and the best in class strategies for retinal vessels distinguishing proof are presented.

Hierarchical Features

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common diabetic diseases that affect the retina’s blood vessels. Too much of the glucose level in blood leads to blockage of blood vessels in the retina, weakening and damaging the retina. Automatic classification of diabetic retinopathy is a challenging task in medical research. This work proposes a Mixture of Ensemble Classifiers (MEC) to classify and grade diabetic retinopathy images using hierarchical features. We use an ensemble of classifiers such as support vector machine, random forest, and Adaboost classifiers that use the hierarchical feature maps obtained at every pooling layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for training. The feature maps are generated by applying the filters to the output of the previous layer. Lastly, we predict the class label or the grade for the given test diabetic retinopathy image by considering the class labels of all the ensembled classifiers. We have tested our approaches on the E-ophtha dataset for the classification task and the Messidor dataset for the grading task. We achieved an accuracy of 95.8% and 96.2% for the E-ophtha and Messidor datasets, respectively. A comparison among prominent convolutional neural network architectures and the proposed approach is provided.

Retinal Vessel detection for retinal images play crucial role in medical field for proper diagnosis and treatment of various diseases like diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy etc. This paper deals with image processing techniques for automatic analysis of blood vessel detection of fundus retinal image using MATLAB tool. This approach uses intensity information and local phase based enhancement filter techniques and morphological operators to provide better accuracy.Objective: The effect of diabetes on the eye is called Diabetic Retinopathy. At the early stages of the disease, blood vessels in the retina become weakened and leak, forming small hemorrhages. As the disease progress, blood vessels may block, and sometimes leads to permanent vision loss. To help Clinicians in diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in retinal images with an early detection of abnormalities with automated tools.Methods: Fundus photography is an imaging technology used to capture retinal images in diabetic patient through fundus camera. Adaptive Thresholding is used as pre-processing techniques to increase the contrast, and filters are applied to enhance the image quality. Morphological processing is used to detect the shape of blood vessels as they are nonlinear in nature.Results: Image features like, Mean and Standard deviation and entropy, for textural analysis of image with Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix features like contrast and Energy are calculated for detected vessels.Conclusion: In diabetic patients eyes are affected severely compared to other organs. Early detection of vessel structure in retinal images with computer assisted tools may assist Clinicians for proper diagnosis and pathology.
