SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION OF MICROANEURYSMS USING NEURAL NETWORK

Abstract

Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the most common causes of blindness that leads to the loss of vision to the human eye. Several methods have been proposed to detect several defects of the human eye like hemorrhages, exudates etc. which are to be considered as the major symptoms. Among them, Microaneurysms should be considered as one of the severe condition for the early blindness. Several techniques have been proposed based on this, but they have certain drawbacks. A new technique called neural network taken for presentation, helps to detect and determine the severity of Microaneurysms which would be able to give a better performance than the existing techniques.
