Abstract

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is an advanced symptom of diabetic retinopathy which lead to vision loss. Here a methodology comprises of two stages is proposed. First stage is detecting of DME and the next stage is assessing the severity of DME.DME detection is carried out via a supervised learning approach A technique called feature extraction is introduced here to capture the global characteristics of fundus images.It will discriminate the normal images from DME images. A rotational asymmetry metric is used to assess disease severity by examining macular region symmetry.Along with this fovea detection is also performed to make detecting process further easier.

Keywords

Diabetic macular edema, hard exudates, rotational symmetry.diabetic retinopathy.
