Diabetic Retinopathy Classification of Fundus Images of eyes using Deep learning Algorithms

A common retinal condition called diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness. Diabetes mellitus is a primary cause of diabetic retinopathy. To prevent vision loss, initial identification and intervention are essential. Using fundus retina images, researchers have proposed various computer vision and machine learning algorithms for identification and classification of retinopathic disorder in diabetics. This article provides a thorough overview of some deep learning techniques for detecting diabetic retinopathy using fundus images after passing through various aspects of that pipeline. We have also presented a CNN based pretrained EfficientNet model of machine learning with appropriate preprocessing to detect retinopathy with an efficiency score of 85% based on the input dataset containing the fundus images.
