Investigations on Severity Level for Diabetic Maculopathy Based on the Location of Lesions

The macula is the part of the eye that helps to provide us with our central vision. Diabetic Maculopathy is when the macula sustains some form of dames. DM is a blurring of one central vision. In this paper we have proposed algorithm for macula on retinal images by using fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. The pre-processing stages of macula detection including image resizing, noise removal is performed. Feature extraction based on gray level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) techniques is implemented. Finally the retinal images and classification is developed using FCM classifier and CNN classifier.
