Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy

Abstract: A diabetes-related eye condition called diabetic retinopathy (DR) can cause blindness or blurred vision. The risk of vision loss can be significantly reduced with early DR diagnosis and treatment. Due to the heterogeneity of retinal alterations between disease stages and the significant proportion of misdiagnosed and untreated DR cases, such diagnosis is a timeconsuming and challenging endeavour. A transfer learning method is used to speed up the process while several preprocessing algorithms are used to increase accuracy. The fundus image collection from the online Kaggle datasets was used in our experiment.
