Abstract

Diagnosing diabetic retinopathy (DR) based on features that appear on fundus images is currently conducted through an eye exam by an ophthalmologist. Tracking DR progression manually is time-consuming and keen for a high-skill person. As the technology offered in industrial revolution (IR) 4.0, namely artificial intelligence, is shown to help in the medical diagnosis process, this study proposes an image enhancement algorithm based on a hybrid of contrast enhancement (CE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed method incorporates contrast adjustment on the bright and dark region of LAB color space where the bright and dark region is initially segmented using K-mean PSO. 100 retinal fundus images are used for training and testing purposes. The proposed method undergoes qualitative and quantitative evaluation with a comparison between the two methods. The result indicates that the performance of the proposed method is more acceptable as compared to another two methods.

Abstract

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of diabetes complications that affects our eyes. Hard Exudate (HE) are known to be the early signs of DR that potentially lead to blindness. Detection of DR automatically is a complicated job since the size of HE is very small. Besides, our community nowadays lack awareness on diabetic where they do not know that diabetes can affect eyes and lead to blindness if regular check-up is not performed. Hence, automated detection of HE known as Eye Retinal Imaging System (EyRis) was created to focus on detecting the HE based on fundus image. The purpose of this system development is for early detection of the symptoms based on retina images captured using fundus camera. Through the captured retina image, we can clearly detect the symptoms that lead to DR. In this study, proposed Watershed segmentation method for detecting HE in fundus images. Top-Hat and Bottom-Hat were use as enhancement technique to improve the quality of the image. This method was tested on 15 retinal images from the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) at three different stages: Normal, NPDR, and PDR. Ten of these images have abnormalities, while the rest are normal retinal images. The evaluation of the segmentation images would be compared by Sensitivity, F-score and accuracy based on medical expert's hand drawn ground truth. The results achieve accuracy 0.96 percent with 0.99 percent sensitivity for retinal images.
