Original Abstract

The paper proposes an image processing algorithm to accurately detect the presence of exudates in Fundus images. For Diabetic Retinopathy, presence of exudates in the fundus image marks the beginning of vision loss and hence detecting the exudates accurately and efficiently is of prime concern. The proposed algorithm is a strategic method which removes false detection because of noise generated for different reasons. Using a strategic combination of two independent approaches based on threshold and edge detection helps in eliminating all possible types of noises leading to false exudates that may have crept in. Hence, this method of detecting the exudates has an advantage of increased accuracy. Experimental results indicate that this method has a clear advantage of accuracy in terms of exudates detection in the digital Fundus image without compromising the computational time.
