DIABETIC RETINOPATHY STAGE CLASSIFICATION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Project Code :TMMAAI335

Objective

To accurately classify Diabetic Retinopathy stages using deep learning, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks, to enhance the diagnosis and management of diabetes-related retinal damage by categorizing images into five stages.

Abstract

Accurate classification of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) stages is crucial for assessing and managing the impact of diabetes on the retina. Elevated blood glucose levels can damage retinal blood vessels, leading to various microstructures like microaneurysms, hard exudates, and neovascularization. Leveraging the capabilities of deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has emerged as a promising strategy for biomedical image analysis. This study focuses on categorizing representative DR images into five stages based on ophthalmologist expertise. Various deep CNN methods were employed for DR stage classification, with Inception Net V3 achieving state-of-the-art accuracy. The success of Inception Net V3 underscores the effectiveness of employing deep CNNs in recognizing and classifying DR images, marking a significant advancement in diabetic retinopathy evaluation and management.

Key Words: diabetic retinopathy; image classification; deep convolutional neural network.
