Detection of Exudates in Retinal Images Based on Computational Intelligence Approach

Currently, there is an increasing interest for setting up medical systems that can screen a large number of people for sight threatening diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy. This automated identification of exudates pathologies in retinal images based on computational-intelligence approach are used to find the diabetics. In which the color retinal images are segmented using fuzzy c means clustering algorithm which following some pre processing step and that segmented regions are divided into exudates and non exudates. The selected feature vectors are then classified using a multilayer neural network classifier to determine whether the image is abnormal/normal.
