AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF HEMORRHAGES USING IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUE

Diabetic Retinopathy is condition in which the eye retina gets damaged due to leakage of blood leakage from the vessels into retina. Effect of this may be the loss of vision. Hemorrhages detection in the retina is the first symptom of DR so earlier detection of hemorrhage can help to reduce the blindness. Our approach introduced new robust method for automatic dete ction of hemorrhage. This can be achieved by three steps, removing noise from fundus image, vessel removal, removing the fovea and detection by considering shape, area, aspect ratio, density and mean intensity. This approach strengthens the hemorrhage dete ction.
