Abstract


Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetics. It affects blood vessels in the retina. Initially, Diabetic retinopathy may not have any symptoms, but finding it early can help us to take steps to protect our vision. Some people notice changes in their vision, like trouble in reading or seeing faraway objects, these changes may come and go. In later stages of diseases, blood vessels in the retina starts to bleed into the vitreous. If this happens, you may see dark, floating spots or streaks that look like lobwels. Sometimes the spots clear up on their own, but it is important to start the treatment, otherwise it may get worse and the bleeding can happen again. There are various stages, it includes blurred vision, impairment of color vision, floaters, patches or streaks. Hence in our project, we came up with an idea of identifying diabetic retinopathy in early stages, to classify a given set of images into four classes, we are using supervised learning methods. For this task, we use deep learning technique with inception v3module along with skin locus model in order to achieve better results and for easy classification of images.
