Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is the main cause of the blindness worldwide. However, the diabetic retinopathy is hard to be detected in the initial stages, and the procedure of diagnostic can be time-consuming even for experienced-experts. The segment based learning approach has shown the benefits over learning technique for detection of diabetic retinopathy: only the annotation of image level is required get the lesions and detection of diabetic retinopathy. Anyways, the performance of existing methods are limited by the utilization of handcrafted features. This paper proposes the segment based learning approach for detection of diabetic retinopathy, which mutually learns classifiers and features from the data and gets significant development on recognizing the images of diabetic retinopathy and their inside the lesions. Specifically, the pre-trained CNN is adapted to get the segment level DRE (Diabetic retinopathy Estimation) and then Integrating all segment level of (DRM) is utilized to make the classification of diabetic retinopathy images. Lastly, an end-to-end segment based learning approach to deal with the irregular lesions of diabetic retinopathy. For detection of the diabetic retinopathy images obtain area under of ROC curve is 0.963 on the Kaggle dataset and also obtains sensitivity and specificity 96.37% and 96.37% on the higher specificity and sensitivity that outperforms much better than existing model.
