Proficient Algorithm for Features Mining in Fundus Images through Content Based Image Retrieval

Image retrieval is gaining prominence in the area of medical image processing especially in the domain of fundus images. This work aims to propose a proficient algorithm for features mining in Fundus images and thereby extract the information through Content Based Image Retrieval process. The automated extraction of important features such as exudates aids medical practitioners in effectively overcoming various diseases pertaining to the patient. Although multiple methods of extracting these features are available, they lack in retrieval aspect of the information or the accuracy of the feature extraction.
