• Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy refers to the pathology of the retina induced by diabetes and is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy is critical to avoid vision problem through continuous screening and treatment. In traditional clinical practice, the involved lesions are manually detected using photographs of the fundus. However, this task is cumbersome and time-consuming and requires intense effort due to the small size of lesion and low contrast of the images. Thus, computer-assisted diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy based on the detection of red lesions is actively being explored recently. In this paper, we present a convolutional neural network with residual skip connection for the segmentation of exudates in retinal images. To improve the performance of network architecture, a suitable image augmentation technique is used. The proposed network can robustly segment exudates with high accuracy, which makes it suitable for diabetic retinopathy screening. Comparative performance analysis of three benchmark databases: HEI-MED, E-ophtha, and DiaretDB1 is presented. It is shown that the proposed method achieves accuracy (0.98, 0.99, 0.98) and sensitivity (0.97, 0.92, and 0.95) on E-ophtha, HEI-MED, and DiaReTDB1, respectively.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
