Diabetic Retinopathy Detection using Image Processing: A Survey

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetes related eye disease which occurs when blood vessels in the retina become swelled and leaks fluid which ultimately leads to vision loss. Several image processing techniques including Image Enhancement, Segmentation, Image Fusion, Morphology, Classification, and registration has been developed for the early detection of DR on the basis of features such as blood vessels, exudes, hemorrhages, and microaneurysms. This paper presents a review of latest work on the use of image processing techniques for DR feature detection. Image Processing techniques are evaluated on the basis of their results.
