 ABSTRACT
• Diabetic Retinopathy is a progressive eye diseases that causes changes in the blood vessels
of the retina which may cause blindness if not prevented and treated at early stage.
• Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications caused by diabetes and it appears in the
retina. The early detection and diagnosis is essential to save the vision of diabetic patients.
• The indications of diabetic retinopathy on the surface of the retina are microaneurysms,
hemorrhages and exudates. The identification of exudates by opthalmolgists normally
requires dilation of pupil’s eye using a chemical solution which consumes lot of time and
affects patients.
• The presented work investigates and presents a morphology based techniques for the
detection of diabetic retinopathy through exudates from color fundus images which includes
the elimination of optic disc and the detected exudates are classified using image processing
methods
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Retinopathy is a diabetic-related complication which is the main cause of vision loss of the
diabetic patients and the prevalence is rising day by day.
• Exudates are the earliest sign of diabetic retinopathy. Early detection of retinopathy can prevent
vision loss by regular screening and proper treatment.
• A morphology-based method for the detection of diabetic retinopathy through exudates from
color fundus images.
• The patients with diabetes are at risk, they should check up their eyes in a regular interval for the
diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. Since Proliferative diabetic retinopathy does not show any
symptoms until they are in last stage of vision loss.
• By image processing we can determine whether exudates and micro aneurysms is developed in
the retina or not which will detect the patient shown be taken care of.
• The retinal image of the eye and processing it by different operations is the only method to
diagnose diabetic retinopathy and it also determines the degree of risk
 TOOLS USED FOR
IMPLEMENTATION
MATLAB
• MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory") is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing
environment developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of
algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.
• Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing
access to symbolic computing abilities. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based
design for dynamic and embedded systems.

SIMULINK
• Simulink is a MATLAB-based graphical programming environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamical
systems. Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries. It offers tight integration
with the rest of the MATLAB environment and can either drive MATLAB or be scripted from it. Simulink is widely used in automatic
control and digital signal processing for multidomain simulation and model-based design.
