• Title: Detecting diabetic retinopathy severity through fundus images using an ensemble of classifiers
• Abstract summary: Diabetic retinopathy is an ocular condition that affects individuals with diabetes mellitus. It is a common complication of diabetes that can impact the eyes and lead to vision loss. An ophthalmologist examines the back part of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and the blood vessels that supply the retina. In the case of diabetic retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina deteriorate and can lead to bleeding, swelling, and other changes that affect vision.

• Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy is an ocular condition that affects individuals with diabetes mellitus. It is a common complication of diabetes that can impact the eyes and lead to vision loss. One method for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy is the examination of the fundus of the eye. An ophthalmologist examines the back part of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and the blood vessels that supply the retina. In the case of diabetic retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina deteriorate and can lead to bleeding, swelling, and other changes that affect vision. We proposed a method for detecting diabetic diabetic severity levels. First, a set of data-prerpocessing is applied to available data: adaptive equalisation, color normalisation, Gaussian filter, removal of the optic disc and blood vessels. Second, we perform image segmentation for relevant markers and extract features from the fundus images. Third, we apply an ensemble of classifiers and we assess the trust in the system.

  Properties of exudates, properties of blood vessels and properties of microaneurysm are studied in diabetic retinopathy. Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and Naive Bayes classifiers are used to classify the stages. Random Forest is found to be the best for higher accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 76.5%, 77.2% and 93.3% 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.
