Abstract -
The effects of the eye abnormalities are mostly gradual in nature which shows the necessity for an accurate abnormality identification system. Abnormality in retina is one among them. Most of the ophthalmologists depend on the visual interpretation for the identification of the types of diseases. But, inaccurate diagnosis will change the course of treatment planning which leads to fatal results. Hence, there is a requirement for a bias free automated system which yields highly accurate results. In this paper, we are classifying normal and abnormal retina. . We first present an summary of diabetic retinopathy and its causes. Then, a literature review of the maximum current automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy techniques is offered. Explanation and restrictions of retina databases which are used to test the performance of these detection algorithms are given. Here we project a vital assessment of the current researches associated with the retinopathy detection process. In this paper, we present a wide review of major researches on disease detection process based on various features.
