1. GROUP NO (If ANY): IT-20

2. DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: Computer science and Engineering/B.Tech 3rd year

3. DATE OF PROJECT REPORT SUBMISSION: 23/04/2018

4. MENTOR NAME: Er. Manoj Wariya

5. STATUS OF THE PROJECT (changes done with respect to your previous reports):

We have proposed a Deep Learning and Machine Learning approach to solve the problem of
detecting Diabetic Retinopathy and classify its severity among 5 classes.

6. PROJECT TITLE:

Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy and Severity Classification

7. ORIGIN OF THE PROJECT

(Technicality and motivation behind this work should be elaborated)

Progression to vision impairment can be slowed or averted if DR is detected in early stage of the
disease. One can see large number of population suffering from it but still testing is done manually
by trained professionals in real life which is quite time taking and lengthy process and usually due
to miscommunication and delayed results eventually leads to delayed treatment and ignorance.
Hence project idea originated to provide an automated, suitable and sophisticated approach using
Neural Network (Deep Learning methods) so that DR can be detected at early levels easily and
damage to retina can be minimized.

8. OTHER SIMILAR IDEAS AVAILABLE ON INTERNET

(Please mention origin of sources like website addresses, ftp address etc):

https://www.kaggle.com has also hosted a worldwide competition to solve this problem using any
sophisticated Machine learning techniques

9. IMPORTANCE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT STATUS

AND ITS RELEVANCE TO COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
(Highlight what is the new area or gap which will be solved in the project in relating to what is
already known.)

Neural Network based implementation of classifying DR provides better performance in situations

where resources such as high computing GPU’s are available for processing the data. Automating
such detection helps in early identification of a disease to an individual so that it can allow for
quick treatment and early recovery.
