---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------can be achieved by testing a group of people affected Abstract - To prevent blindness in earlier stage blood with diabetic retinopathy and sorting out the people vessel segmentation is introduced based on Random with more severity. This helps human experts to Forest (RF).The modules used in the proposed system are reduce the examination time of the disease. The fundus Pre-processing, Segmentation, Lesion Identification, images with diabetic retinopathy have a part of the eye Feature Extraction and Classification. tissues which would be damaged already. This can be more accurately called as red lesion. Detection of Microaneurysms and Hemorrhages are validated. The fundus image The performance of These red lesions at sometimes cause swelling in the segmentation in this method is analyzed in terms of retina, blood vessels called as microaneurysms and specificity, sensitivity and segmentation accuracy. The some time bleeding. In case of bright lesions a mass cell process of screening is evaluated on publicly available accumulation in the retina may occur and some fluffy database: Diaretdb1 with the resolution of (1152 x patches may occur in the retina. The main aim is to 1500pixels).To extract the shape features Morphological differentiate micro aneurysms from stretched out image flooding is used. In this approach, candidate structures .Microaneurysms are early signs of diabetic regions are first segmented using Nguyen et al. Line retinopathy however haemorrhages are even more detection and Soares et al. 2D Gabor wavelet transform valuable and useful to specify the severity of the and then Feature Extraction is done by Dynamic Shape disease. Features. Futher the classification process is carried out using Random Forest(RF). 1.1 EXISTING SYSTEM Key Words: Diabetic Retinopathy; Detection of lesion; Red lesions in the form of Microaneurysms Retinal Image; Optic disc removal; Dynamic Shape (MAs) and Hemorrhages (HEs) are among the first Feature; Random Forest(RF) explicit signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The 1.INTRODUCTION diagnostic task in this is the lesion detection. A new curvelet based algorithm to separate these red lesions from the rest of the color retinal image, in order to Several diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular prevent fovea to be considered as red lesion.”A new disease, hypertension and stroke cause changes in the illumination equalization algorithm” is applied. Digital retinal vascular structure which leads to blindness. curvelet transform (DCUT) is used in the next stage. When the segmentation process is done manually by the trained experts it is very tedious and time PROBLEMS IN EXISTING SYSTEM consuming. Diabetic retinopathy is a health issue which often leads to improper vision and in some cases it can even cause blindness. If it is treated at early stages loss of vision can be protected. Though this process more suitable treatment can be offered to the diabetic retinopathy affected patient . The research focuses on providing a computer aided telemedicine for diabetic retinopathy. The already adopted methods mainly focus on detecting microaneurysms. These can be detected using morphological actions. This automation © 2017, IRJET

Does not segment the elongated structures. It did not perform well in the thin vessels it segments only thick vessels. It ignores useful information from shapes and structures.
