Abstract— The legal cause of blindness for the workingage
population in western countries is Diabetic Retinopathy - a
complication of diabetes mellitus - is a severe and wide- spread
eye disease. Digital color fundus images are becoming
increasingly important for the diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy.
In order to facilitate and improve diagnosis in different ways, this
fact opens the possibility of applying image processing techniques
.Microaneurysms is the earliest sign of DR, therefore an
algorithm able to automatically detect the microaneurysms in
fundus image captured. Since microaneurysms is a necessary
preprocessing step for a correct diagnosis. Some methods that
address this problem can be found in the literature but they have
some drawbacks like accuracy or speed. The aim of this thesis is
to develop and test a new method for detecting the
microaneurysms in retina images. To do so preprocessing, gray
level 2D feature based vessel extraction is done using neural
network by using extra neurons which is evaluated on DRIVE
database which is superior than rulebased methods. To identify
microaneurysms in an image morphological opening and image
enhancement is performed. The complete algorithm is developed
by using a MATLAB implementation and the diagnosis in an
image can be estimated with the better accuracy and in shorter
time than previous techniques.
Key words— Diabetic retinopathy, feature extraction, fundus
photograps, microaneurysms, Vessel Segmentation.
I.INTRODUCTION
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common diabetic
eye disease and is the leading cause of blindness in a persons
with diabetes within the age group 20 to 74 years in developed
countries [1]. It is caused by the changes in the blood vessel of
retina. It is provoked by diabetes-mellitus complications and,
although diabetes affection does not necessarily involve vision
impairment. About 2% of the patients affected by this disorder
are blind,10% undergo vision degradation after 15 years of
diabetes [2], [3] as a consequence of DR complications The
estimated prevalence of diabetes for all age groups worldwide
was 2.8% in 2000 and 4.4% in 2030, meaning that the total
number of diabetes patients is forecasted to rise from 171
million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030 [4]. DR also becomes a
great economic problem for Administrations since, only in U.S.
cost of ophthalmic chronic complications caused by diabetes
exceeded 1 billion dollars in 2007 [5]. Although the diabetic
retinopathy is not curable and also DR patients perceive no
symptoms until visual loss develops, usually in the later disease
stages, when the treatment is less effective. But if the treatment
is received in time patients can be prevented to become
affected from this condition or atleast the progression of DR
can be slowed down. Thus, mass screening of the patients
suffering from the diabeties is highly desired, but manual
grading is slow and resource demanding. Therefore more effort
are being taken to design authentic computer - aided screening
system based on color fundus images. The promising result
reported by Antal et al.[6] indicate that the automatic DR
screening systems are getting closer to be used in clinical
practices. These types of automated systems have the potential
to reduce the workload for screening ophthalmologists while
maintaining a high sensitivity (i.e., above 90%) for the
detection of patients with DR. Furthermore, itwould also result
in economic benefits for public Health Systems, since cost-
effective treatments associated to early illness detection lead to
remarkable cost savings [7].
In this paper, a new methodology for blood vessel detection
presented by Marin et al. [9] is optimized for the MA detection.
It is based on pixel classification using a 2-D feature vector
extracted from preprocessed retinal images and given as input
to a neural network. Classification results (real values between
0 and 1) are thresholded to classify each pixel into two classes:
vessel and nonvessel. Finally, a postprocessing fills pixel gaps
in detected blood vessels and removes falsely-detected isolated
vessel pixels.
Despite its simplicity, the high accuracy achieved by this
method in blood vessel detection is comparable to that reported
by the most accurate methods in literature. Moreover, it offers a
better behavior against images of different conditions. This fact
is especially relevant if we keep in mind that the main aim of
implementing a vessel segmentation algorithm is its integration
in systems for automated detection of eye diseases. This kind of
systems should require no user interaction and, therefore, be
field of retinal imaging, this involves a huge challenge, since
large variability is observed in the image acquisition process
and a natural variation is reported in the appearance of the
retina. Applications are being developed in which a computer
interprets an image to aid a physician in detecting possibly
subtle abnormalities. A spell-checker indicates words or
grammar it suspects to be incorrect. This may or may not be the
case and the human operator, the writer in this case, either
accepts or rejects the machine’s suggestions. A similar process
can be used for medical image analysis. The computer indicates
places in the image that require extra attention from the
physician because they could be abnormal. These technologies
are called Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). Other emerging
CAD applications are the automatic detection of polyps in the
large intestine and automatic lung nodule detection. This thesis
describes components of an automatic system which can aid in
the detection of diabetic retinopathy.This is an eye disease and
a common complication of diabetes that can cause blindness
and vision loss if left undiagnosed at an early stage. As the
number of people afflicted with diabetes increases worldwide,
the need for automated detection methods of diabetic
retinopathy will increase as well. To automatically detect

diabetic retinopathy, a computer should interpret and analyze
digital images of the retina.
II.PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system gives an automated method for
blood vessel enhancement and segmentation. The input retinal
image normally contains too many background pixels which
are not required for further processing. A preprocessing is
applied to remove the background and noise from the image. It
takes colored retinal image as a input. Studies on retinal images
have shownthat it is the green channel which gives the best
contrast between the surface area and blood vessels.
Furthermore in inverted green channel, blood vessels appear
more lighter than background that is why we have used
inverted green channel for blood vessel enhancement and
segmentation. For detection of neovascularization, it is
important to enhance the vascular pattern especially the thin
and less visible vessels. The proposed algorithm uses two
dimensional Gabor wavelet for vessel enhancement [10].
Fig.1. Flow diagram for proposed system
After vessel enhancement, multilayered thresholding and
adaptive thresholding techniques are applied to create a binary
mask for blood vessel segmentation. Then a sliding window is
applied to find new abnormal blood vessel. Figure shows
thecomplete flow diagram for proposed technique.
III.RETINAL IMAGES DATABASES
Fundus photography is the creation of a photograph of
the interior surface of the eye, including the retina, optic disc,
macula, and posterior pole. The fundus image of the retina is
basically acquired with the digital fundus camera, which is a
specialized camera that images the retina via the pupil of the
eye. The fundus camera has the illumination system. Modern
systems image at high-resolution and in color with Nikon or
Canon digital SLR camera backends. The field of view (FOV)
of the retina that is imaged can usually be adjusted from 25◦ to
60◦ (as determined from the pupil) in two or three small steps.
The smaller FOV has better detail but this is at the expense of a
reduced view of the retina. There are various publicly databases
which are available online for the study or research purpose
such as Messidor database, STARE, DRIVE, DIARETDB1
Database and private database from hospital. The databases
available are for the study and research purpose. In this
databases various images along with annotation file is provided
in which pathological result for each image such as retinopathy
grade and features which are present such as micro aneurysm,
exudates, hemorrhages, neovascularization is mentioned.
IV.PREPROCESSING METHODS
The first step in preprocessing is to extract the green
channel of the image. Since the input images are monochrome
and obtained by extracting the green band from original RGB
retinal images. The green channel provides the best vessel-
background contrast of the RGB-representation, while the red
channel is the brightest color channel and has low contrast, and
the blue one offers poor dynamic range. Thus, blood containing
elements in the retinal layer (such as vessels and
microaneurysms) are best represented and reach higher contrast
in the green channel [13].
Fig.2.Framework of the proposed scheme
A. Fundus Mask Detection
The fundus can be easily separated from the background by
converting the original fundus image from the RGB to HSI
colour system where a separate channel is used to represent the
intensity values of the image. The intensity channel image is
thresholded by a low threshold value as the background pixels
are typically significantly darker than the fundus pixels. A
median filter of size 5 × 5 is used to remove any noise from the
created fundus mask and the edge pixels are removed by
morphological opening with a square structuring element of
size 5 × 5.
Fig.3.Automatic fundus mask generation. (a) Input image
(b) Automatically generated fundus mask.
After that the mask is obtained by extracting the pixels
having the values greater than 0 over the range of 0 – 255 and
then FOV is obtained by multiplying the mask image with
greatest pixel value i.e. 255. Figure 4.2 shows the example of
the fundus mask.Color fundus images often show important
lighting variations, poor contrast and noise. In order to reduce
these imperfections and generate images more suitable for
extracting the pixel features demanded in the classification
step, a preprocessing comprising the following steps is applied:
1) vessel central light reflex removal, 2) background
homogenization, and 3) vessel enhancement.
B. Vessel Central Light Reflex Removal
Since retinal blood vessels have lower reflectance when
compared to other retinal surfaces, they appear darker than the
background. Although the typical vessel cross-sectional gray-
level profile can be approximated by a Gaussian shaped curve
(inner vessel pixels are darker than the outermost ones), some
blood vessels include a light streak (known as a light reflex)
which runs down the central length of the blood vessel.
To remove this brighter strip, the green plane of the image
is filtered by applying a morphological opening using a three-
pixel diameter disc, defined in a square grid by using eight-
connexity, as structuring element. Disc diameter was fixed to
the possible minimum value to reduce the risk of merging close
vessels. Iγ denotes the resultant image for future references.

C. Background Homogenization
A Fundus images often contain background intensity
variation due to nonuniform illumination.
Consequently, background pixels may have different
intensity for the same image and, although their gray-levels are
usually higher than those of vessel pixels (in relation to green
channel images), the intensity values of some background
pixels is comparable to that of brighter vessel pixels. Since the
feature vector used to represent a pixel in the classification
stage is formed by gray-scale values, this effect may worsen the
performance of the vessel segmentation methodology. With the
purpose of removing these background lightening variations, a
shade-corrected image is accomplished from a background
estimate. This image is the result of a filtering operation with a
large arithmetic mean kernel, as described. Firstly, a 3 × 3
mean filter is applied to smooth occasional salt-and-pepper
noise. Further noise smoothing is performed by convolving the
resultant image with a Gaussian kernel of dimensions m × m =
9 × 9, mean µ = 0 and variance σ = 1.82, Gmµ,σ2 = G90,1.82.
Secondly, a background image IB, is produced by applying a
69 × 69 mean filter . When this filter is applied to the pixels in
the FOV near the border, the results are strongly biased by the
external dark region. To overcome this problem, out-of-the
FOV gray-levels are replaced by average gray-levels in the
remaining pixels in the square. Then, the difference D between
Iγ and IB is calculated for every pixel
D(x,y)=Iγ(x,y)-IB(x,y) (1)
To this respect, literature reports shade-correction methods
based on the subtraction of the background image from the
original image [12] or the division of the latter by the former
[13]. Both procedures rendered similar results upon testing.
Moreover, none of them showed to contribute any appreciable
advantage relative to the other. The subtractive approach in (1)
was used in the present work.
Finally, a shade-corrected image ISC is obtained by
transforming linearly RD values into integers covering the
whole range of possible gray-levels ( [0 – 255] , referred to 8-
bit images).The proposed shade-correction algorithm is
observed to reduce background intensity variations and
enhance contrast in relation to the original green channel
image.
Besides the background intensity variations in images,
intensities can reveal significant variations between images due
to different illumination conditions in the acquisition process.
In order to reduce this influence, a homogenized image IH [Fig.
3(a)] is produced as follows: the histogram of ISC is displaced
toward the middle of the gray-scale by modifying pixel
intensities according to the following gray-level global
transformation function:
gout = 0 ; for g < 0
=255 ; for g > 255 (2)
= g ; otherwise
Where,
g=gin+128–gin-max (3)
gin= gray level variable of shade corrected image (ISC)
out = gray level variable of homogeneous image (IH)
gin-max= gray level containing highest no. of pixel in ISC.
By means of this operation, pixels with gray-level gin-max ,
which are observed to correspond to the background of the
retina, are set to 128 for 8-bit images.
Thus, background pixels in images with different
illumination conditions will standardize their intensity around
this value.
D. Vessel Enhancement
The final preprocessing step consists on generating a new
vessel-enhanced image (IVE), which proves more suitable for
further extraction of gray level based features. Vessel
enhancement is performed by estimating the complementary
image of the homogenized image IH , IHC, and subsequently
applying the morphological Top-Hat transformation
IVE=IHCγ(IHC) (4)
Where γ is a morphological opening operation using a disc
of eight pixels in radius. Thus, while bright retinal structures
are removed (i.e., optic disc, possible presence of exudates or
reflection artifacts), the darker structures remaining after the
opening operation become enhanced (i.e., blood vessels, fovea,
possible presence of microaneurysms or hemorrhages).
Samples of vessel enhancement operation results are for two
fundus images with variable illumination conditions.

Image IVE
V.DETECTION OF NEOVASCULARIZATION
The study of the blood vessel is very important for the
detection of the neovascularization. Neovascularization is the
appearance of new blood vessels in the fundus area and inside
the optical disk which is the sign of proliferative diabetic
retinopathy (PDR). So the segmentation of blood vessel
becomes important step to detect neovascularization. have
proposed the system which gives an automated method for the
blood vessel enhancement and segmentation. A preprocessing
algorithm given in [11] is applied to remove the background
and noise from the image. It takes colored retinal image as a
input. This algorithm uses 2D Gabor wavelet for vessel
enhancement [15]. For vessel enhancement normally matched
filters (MFs) are used but the drawback is that MFs not only
enhance blood vessels edges they also enhance bright lesions.
So 2D Gabor wavelet is best option due to its directional
selectiveness capability of detecting oriented features and fine
tuning to specific frequencies. By performing subsequent
iteration of decreasing threshold the segmented image is
skeletonized to eliminate falls edges . In order to find abnormal
vessels, a window of size 15 x 15 is slided over segmented
blood vessels. For each position energy and density of blood
vessels are computed and if they are more than the normal
behavior of blood vessels then that segment contains abnormal
blood vessel which is a sign of PDR.
VI.FEATURE EXTRATION
To recognize or classify an object in an image, one must
first extract some features out of the image, and then use these
features inside a pattern classifier to obtain the final class.

Feature extraction (or detection) aims to locate significant
feature regions on images depending on their intrinsic
characteristics and applications. These regions can be defined
in global or local neighborhood and distinguished by shapes,
textures, sizes, intensities, statistical properties, and so on.
Local feature extraction methods are divided into intensity
based and structure based. Intensity-based methods analyze
local intensity patterns to find regions that satisfy desired
uniqueness or stability criteria. Structure-based methods detect
image structures such as edges, lines, corners, circles, ellipses,
and so on. Feature extraction tends to identify the characteristic
features that can form a good representation of the object, so as
to discriminate across the object category with tolerance of
variations.Gray level based Feature are the features based on
the differences between the gray-level in the candidate pixel
and a statistical value representative of its surroundings. Since
blood vessels are always darker than their surroundings,
features based on describing gray-level variation in the
surroundings of candidate pixels seem a good choice. A set of
gray-level-based descriptors taking this information into
account were derived from considering only a small pixel
region homogenized images IH centered on the described
pixel (x,y). swx,y stands for the set of coordinates in a w × w
sized square window centered on point (x,y) . Then, these
descriptors can be expressed as
F1(x,y)=IVE(x,y) (5)
F2(x,y)=meanIVEx,y) (6)
S3×3x,y
VII.CLASSIFICATION
In the feature extraction stage, each pixel from a fundus
imageis characterized by a vector in a 2-D feature space such
as:
F(x,y) = (f1(x,y), f2(x,y)) (7)
After that classification procedure assigns class C1 as
Vessel and C2 as Nonvessel to every candidate pixel. Since
training dataset available for testing algorithm was not
linearally separable because of the presence of vasculature
structures. Some of nonlinear classifier can be found in the
existing literature on Bayesian classifier, Neural network,
Support Vector Machine , and kNN method . In the proposed
method feed forward back propagation neural network is
selected. There are two stages of neural network, one is design
stage and other is application stage. In design stage
configuration and training of neural network is performed. In
application stage trained neural network is used to classify
every pixel as Vessel or Nonvessel to obtain binary vessel
image.
A. Neural Network Design:
A multilayer feedforward network, consisting of an input
layer, three hidden layers and an output layer, is adopted in this
paper. The input layer is composed by a number of neuron
Fig.4.Structure of the Multilayer Perceptron Neural
Network
equal to the dimension of the feature vector (two neurons).
Regarding the hidden layers, several topologies with different
numbers of neurons were tested. A number of two hidden
layers, each containing 6 and 3 neurons, provided optimal NN
configuration. The output layer contains a single neuron and is
attached, as the remainder units, to a nonlinear logistic sigmoid
activation function, so its output ranges between 0 and 1. This
choice was grounded on the fact of interpreting NN output as
posterior probabilities.The training set, ST , is composed of a
set of N candidates for which the feature vector [F- (7)], and
the classification result (C1 or C2 : vessel or nonvessel) are
known
ST={F(n), Ck(n) n=1,2…,N; Kє{1,2}} (8)
The samples forming were collected from manually labeled
non vessel and vessel pixels in the DRIVE training images.
Specifically, around 48,000 pixel samples, fairly divided into
vessel and non-vessel pixels, were used. Unlike other author
[8], who selected their training set by random pixel-sample
extraction from available manual segmentations of DRIVE and
STARE images, we produced our own training set by
hand.1 As discussed in literature, gold-standard images may
contain errors due to the considerable difficulty involved by the
creation of these handmade images.
B. Neural Network Application
At this stage, the trained NN is applied to an “unseen”
fundus image to generate a binary image in which blood
vessels are identified from retinal background: pixels’
mathematical descriptions are individually passed through the
NN. In our case, the NN input units receive the set of features.
Since a logistic sigmoidal activation unction wfas selected
for the single neuron of the output layer, the NN decision
determines a classification value between 0 and 1. Thus, a
Fig.5.Output of Vessel Segmentation Method
vessel probability map indicating the probability for the
pixel to be part of a vessel is produced. Illustratively, the
resultant probability map corresponding to a DRIVE database
fundus image [Fig.5 ] is shown as an image in Fig.5. The bright
pixels in this image indicate higher probability of being vessel
pixel. In order to obtain a vessel binary segmentation, a
thresholding scheme on the probability map is used to decide
whether a particular pixel is part of a vessel or not. Therefore,
the classification procedure assigns one of the classes C1
(vessel) or C2 (nonvessel) to each candidate pixel, depending
on if its associated probability is greater than a threshold Th .
Thus, a classification output image ICO , is obtained by
associating classes C1 and C2 to the gray level values 255 and
0, respectively. Mathematically
ICO = { 255 (= C1) , if p(C1| F(x,y)) ≥ Th (9)
0 (= C2) ,
otherwise

where p(C1| F(x,y)) denotes the probability of a pixel (x,y)
described by feature vector F(x,y) to belong to class C1. The
optimum value of Th is selected as 80.
VIII.MICROANEURYSMS DETECTION
For microaneurysms detection we consider the output of
vessel segmentation process i.e. IVE and after that the intensity
of the image is adjusted such that intensity values in grayscale
image IVE to new values in intensity adjusted image, IAI such
that 1% of data is saturated at low and high intensities of IVE.
This increases the contrast of the output image IAI. In addition
to this it will also enhance microaneurysms structure which
were difficult to identify in the vessel enhance image, IVE as
shown in fig 6.

IX.CONCLUSION
The proposed algorithm is able to detect the microaneurysms
from the fundus image without the need of doing fundus
flourescene angiography and it is simple, flexible and robust.
Vessel segmentation has been done using two pixel feature,
still an appreciable accuracy is attained. The advantage of the
proposed method is less computation time, so that an
ophthalmologist can concentrate on more severe patients rather
than testing every patient. With such a screening system a
person with little training can able to do testing of patient so it
is not necessary to have expert ophthalmologist. Since this
system is able to detect microaneurysms at earliest stage there
will be remarkable cost saving in treatment.

SYSTEM BASED ON THE NEURAL NETWORK FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

  • 1. International Journal of Technical Research and Applications e-ISSN: 2320-8163, www.ijtra.com Volume 2, Issue 4 (July-Aug 2014), PP. 76-80 76 | P a g e SYSTEM BASED ON THE NEURAL NETWORK FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY Dipika gadriye1, Prof.Gopichand Khandale2 Department of Electronics Engineering Wainganga College of Engineering & Management Nagpur, India. Abstract— The legal cause of blindness for the workingage population in western countries is Diabetic Retinopathy - a complication of diabetes mellitus - is a severe and wide- spread eye disease. Digital color fundus images are becoming increasingly important for the diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy. In order to facilitate and improve diagnosis in different ways, this fact opens the possibility of applying image processing techniques .Microaneurysms is the earliest sign of DR, therefore an algorithm able to automatically detect the microaneurysms in fundus image captured. Since microaneurysms is a necessary preprocessing step for a correct diagnosis. Some methods that address this problem can be found in the literature but they have some drawbacks like accuracy or speed. The aim of this thesis is to develop and test a new method for detecting the microaneurysms in retina images. To do so preprocessing, gray level 2D feature based vessel extraction is done using neural network by using extra neurons which is evaluated on DRIVE database which is superior than rulebased methods. To identify microaneurysms in an image morphological opening and image enhancement is performed. The complete algorithm is developed by using a MATLAB implementation and the diagnosis in an image can be estimated with the better accuracy and in shorter time than previous techniques. Key words— Diabetic retinopathy, feature extraction, fundus photograps, microaneurysms, Vessel Segmentation. I.INTRODUCTION Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common diabetic eye disease and is the leading cause of blindness in a persons with diabetes within the age group 20 to 74 years in developed countries [1]. It is caused by the changes in the blood vessel of retina. It is provoked by diabetes-mellitus complications and, although diabetes affection does not necessarily involve vision impairment. About 2% of the patients affected by this disorder are blind,10% undergo vision degradation after 15 years of diabetes [2], [3] as a consequence of DR complications The estimated prevalence of diabetes for all age groups worldwide was 2.8% in 2000 and 4.4% in 2030, meaning that the total number of diabetes patients is forecasted to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030 [4]. DR also becomes a great economic problem for Administrations since, only in U.S. cost of ophthalmic chronic complications caused by diabetes exceeded 1 billion dollars in 2007 [5]. Although the diabetic retinopathy is not curable and also DR patients perceive no symptoms until visual loss develops, usually in the later disease stages, when the treatment is less effective. But if the treatment is received in time patients can be prevented to become affected from this condition or atleast the progression of DR can be slowed down. Thus, mass screening of the patients suffering from the diabeties is highly desired, but manual grading is slow and resource demanding. Therefore more effort are being taken to design authentic computer - aided screening system based on color fundus images. The promising result reported by Antal et al.[6] indicate that the automatic DR screening systems are getting closer to be used in clinical practices. These types of automated systems have the potential to reduce the workload for screening ophthalmologists while maintaining a high sensitivity (i.e., above 90%) for the detection of patients with DR. Furthermore, itwould also result in economic benefits for public Health Systems, since cost- effective treatments associated to early illness detection lead to remarkable cost savings [7]. In this paper, a new methodology for blood vessel detection presented by Marin et al. [9] is optimized for the MA detection. It is based on pixel classification using a 2-D feature vector extracted from preprocessed retinal images and given as input to a neural network. Classification results (real values between 0 and 1) are thresholded to classify each pixel into two classes: vessel and nonvessel. Finally, a postprocessing fills pixel gaps in detected blood vessels and removes falsely-detected isolated vessel pixels. Despite its simplicity, the high accuracy achieved by this method in blood vessel detection is comparable to that reported by the most accurate methods in literature. Moreover, it offers a better behavior against images of different conditions. This fact is especially relevant if we keep in mind that the main aim of implementing a vessel segmentation algorithm is its integration in systems for automated detection of eye diseases. This kind of systems should require no user interaction and, therefore, be field of retinal imaging, this involves a huge challenge, since large variability is observed in the image acquisition process and a natural variation is reported in the appearance of the retina. Applications are being developed in which a computer interprets an image to aid a physician in detecting possibly subtle abnormalities. A spell-checker indicates words or grammar it suspects to be incorrect. This may or may not be the case and the human operator, the writer in this case, either accepts or rejects the machine’s suggestions. A similar process can be used for medical image analysis. The computer indicates places in the image that require extra attention from the physician because they could be abnormal. These technologies are called Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). Other emerging CAD applications are the automatic detection of polyps in the large intestine and automatic lung nodule detection. This thesis describes components of an automatic system which can aid in the detection of diabetic retinopathy.This is an eye disease and a common complication of diabetes that can cause blindness and vision loss if left undiagnosed at an early stage. As the number of people afflicted with diabetes increases worldwide, the need for automated detection methods of diabetic retinopathy will increase as well. To automatically detect

II.PROPOSED SYSTEM The proposed system gives an automated method for blood vessel enhancement and segmentation. The input retinal image normally contains too many background pixels which are not required for further processing. A preprocessing is applied to remove the background and noise from the image. It takes colored retinal image as a input. Studies on retinal images have shownthat it is the green channel which gives the best contrast between the surface area and blood vessels. Furthermore in inverted green channel, blood vessels appear more lighter than background that is why we have used inverted green channel for blood vessel enhancement and segmentation. For detection of neovascularization, it is important to enhance the vascular pattern especially the thin and less visible vessels. The proposed algorithm uses two dimensional Gabor wavelet for vessel enhancement [10]. Fig.1. Flow diagram for proposed system After vessel enhancement, multilayered thresholding and adaptive thresholding techniques are applied to create a binary mask for blood vessel segmentation. Then a sliding window is applied to find new abnormal blood vessel. Figure shows thecomplete flow diagram for proposed technique. III.RETINAL IMAGES DATABASES Fundus photography is the creation of a photograph of the interior surface of the eye, including the retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior pole. The fundus image of the retina is basically acquired with the digital fundus camera, which is a specialized camera that images the retina via the pupil of the eye. The fundus camera has the illumination system. Modern systems image at high-resolution and in color with Nikon or Canon digital SLR camera backends. The field of view (FOV) of the retina that is imaged can usually be adjusted from 25◦ to 60◦ (as determined from the pupil) in two or three small steps. The smaller FOV has better detail but this is at the expense of a reduced view of the retina. There are various publicly databases which are available online for the study or research purpose such as Messidor database, STARE, DRIVE, DIARETDB1 Database and private database from hospital. The databases available are for the study and research purpose. In this databases various images along with annotation file is provided in which pathological result for each image such as retinopathy grade and features which are present such as micro aneurysm, exudates, hemorrhages, neovascularization is mentioned. IV.PREPROCESSING METHODS The first step in preprocessing is to extract the green channel of the image. Since the input images are monochrome and obtained by extracting the green band from original RGB retinal images. The green channel provides the best vessel- background contrast of the RGB-representation, while the red channel is the brightest color channel and has low contrast, and the blue one offers poor dynamic range. Thus, blood containing elements in the retinal layer (such as vessels and microaneurysms) are best represented and reach higher contrast in the green channel [13]. Fig.2.Framework of the proposed scheme A. Fundus Mask Detection The fundus can be easily separated from the background by converting the original fundus image from the RGB to HSI colour system where a separate channel is used to represent the intensity values of the image. The intensity channel image is thresholded by a low threshold value as the background pixels are typically significantly darker than the fundus pixels. A median filter of size 5 × 5 is used to remove any noise from the created fundus mask and the edge pixels are removed by morphological opening with a square structuring element of size 5 × 5. Fig.3.Automatic fundus mask generation. (a) Input image (b) Automatically generated fundus mask. After that the mask is obtained by extracting the pixels having the values greater than 0 over the range of 0 – 255 and then FOV is obtained by multiplying the mask image with greatest pixel value i.e. 255. Figure 4.2 shows the example of the fundus mask.Color fundus images often show important lighting variations, poor contrast and noise. In order to reduce these imperfections and generate images more suitable for extracting the pixel features demanded in the classification step, a preprocessing comprising the following steps is applied: 1) vessel central light reflex removal, 2) background homogenization, and 3) vessel enhancement. B. Vessel Central Light Reflex Removal Since retinal blood vessels have lower reflectance when compared to other retinal surfaces, they appear darker than the background. Although the typical vessel cross-sectional gray- level profile can be approximated by a Gaussian shaped curve (inner vessel pixels are darker than the outermost ones), some blood vessels include a light streak (known as a light reflex) which runs down the central length of the blood vessel. To remove this brighter strip, the green plane of the image is filtered by applying a morphological opening using a three- pixel diameter disc, defined in a square grid by using eight- connexity, as structuring element. Disc diameter was fixed to the possible minimum value to reduce the risk of merging close vessels. Iγ denotes the resultant image for future references.
  • 3. International Journal of Technical Research and Applications e-ISSN: 2320-8163, www.ijtra.com Volume 2, Issue 4 (July-Aug 2014), PP. 76-80 78 | P a g e C. Background Homogenization A Fundus images often contain background intensity variation due to nonuniform illumination. Consequently, background pixels may have different intensity for the same image and, although their gray-levels are usually higher than those of vessel pixels (in relation to green channel images), the intensity values of some background pixels is comparable to that of brighter vessel pixels. Since the feature vector used to represent a pixel in the classification stage is formed by gray-scale values, this effect may worsen the performance of the vessel segmentation methodology. With the purpose of removing these background lightening variations, a shade-corrected image is accomplished from a background estimate. This image is the result of a filtering operation with a large arithmetic mean kernel, as described. Firstly, a 3 × 3 mean filter is applied to smooth occasional salt-and-pepper noise. Further noise smoothing is performed by convolving the resultant image with a Gaussian kernel of dimensions m × m = 9 × 9, mean µ = 0 and variance σ = 1.82, Gmµ,σ2 = G90,1.82. Secondly, a background image IB, is produced by applying a 69 × 69 mean filter . When this filter is applied to the pixels in the FOV near the border, the results are strongly biased by the external dark region. To overcome this problem, out-of-the FOV gray-levels are replaced by average gray-levels in the remaining pixels in the square. Then, the difference D between Iγ and IB is calculated for every pixel D(x,y)=Iγ(x,y)-IB(x,y) (1) To this respect, literature reports shade-correction methods based on the subtraction of the background image from the original image [12] or the division of the latter by the former [13]. Both procedures rendered similar results upon testing. Moreover, none of them showed to contribute any appreciable advantage relative to the other. The subtractive approach in (1) was used in the present work. Finally, a shade-corrected image ISC is obtained by transforming linearly RD values into integers covering the whole range of possible gray-levels ( [0 – 255] , referred to 8- bit images).The proposed shade-correction algorithm is observed to reduce background intensity variations and enhance contrast in relation to the original green channel image. Besides the background intensity variations in images, intensities can reveal significant variations between images due to different illumination conditions in the acquisition process. In order to reduce this influence, a homogenized image IH [Fig. 3(a)] is produced as follows: the histogram of ISC is displaced toward the middle of the gray-scale by modifying pixel intensities according to the following gray-level global transformation function: gout = 0 ; for g < 0 =255 ; for g > 255 (2) = g ; otherwise Where, g=gin+128–gin-max (3) gin= gray level variable of shade corrected image (ISC) out = gray level variable of homogeneous image (IH) gin-max= gray level containing highest no. of pixel in ISC. By means of this operation, pixels with gray-level gin-max , which are observed to correspond to the background of the retina, are set to 128 for 8-bit images. Thus, background pixels in images with different illumination conditions will standardize their intensity around this value. D. Vessel Enhancement The final preprocessing step consists on generating a new vessel-enhanced image (IVE), which proves more suitable for further extraction of gray level based features. Vessel enhancement is performed by estimating the complementary image of the homogenized image IH , IHC, and subsequently applying the morphological Top-Hat transformation IVE=IHCγ(IHC) (4) Where γ is a morphological opening operation using a disc of eight pixels in radius. Thus, while bright retinal structures are removed (i.e., optic disc, possible presence of exudates or reflection artifacts), the darker structures remaining after the opening operation become enhanced (i.e., blood vessels, fovea, possible presence of microaneurysms or hemorrhages). Samples of vessel enhancement operation results are for two fundus images with variable illumination conditions. Fig .4.(a) Homogenized Image IH (b) Vessel Enhanced Image IVE V.DETECTION OF NEOVASCULARIZATION The study of the blood vessel is very important for the detection of the neovascularization. Neovascularization is the appearance of new blood vessels in the fundus area and inside the optical disk which is the sign of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). So the segmentation of blood vessel becomes important step to detect neovascularization. have proposed the system which gives an automated method for the blood vessel enhancement and segmentation. A preprocessing algorithm given in [11] is applied to remove the background and noise from the image. It takes colored retinal image as a input. This algorithm uses 2D Gabor wavelet for vessel enhancement [15]. For vessel enhancement normally matched filters (MFs) are used but the drawback is that MFs not only enhance blood vessels edges they also enhance bright lesions. So 2D Gabor wavelet is best option due to its directional selectiveness capability of detecting oriented features and fine tuning to specific frequencies. By performing subsequent iteration of decreasing threshold the segmented image is skeletonized to eliminate falls edges . In order to find abnormal vessels, a window of size 15 x 15 is slided over segmented blood vessels. For each position energy and density of blood vessels are computed and if they are more than the normal behavior of blood vessels then that segment contains abnormal blood vessel which is a sign of PDR. VI.FEATURE EXTRATION To recognize or classify an object in an image, one must first extract some features out of the image, and then use these features inside a pattern classifier to obtain the final class.
  • 4. International Journal of Technical Research and Applications e-ISSN: 2320-8163, www.ijtra.com Volume 2, Issue 4 (July-Aug 2014), PP. 76-80 79 | P a g e Feature extraction (or detection) aims to locate significant feature regions on images depending on their intrinsic characteristics and applications. These regions can be defined in global or local neighborhood and distinguished by shapes, textures, sizes, intensities, statistical properties, and so on. Local feature extraction methods are divided into intensity based and structure based. Intensity-based methods analyze local intensity patterns to find regions that satisfy desired uniqueness or stability criteria. Structure-based methods detect image structures such as edges, lines, corners, circles, ellipses, and so on. Feature extraction tends to identify the characteristic features that can form a good representation of the object, so as to discriminate across the object category with tolerance of variations.Gray level based Feature are the features based on the differences between the gray-level in the candidate pixel and a statistical value representative of its surroundings. Since blood vessels are always darker than their surroundings, features based on describing gray-level variation in the surroundings of candidate pixels seem a good choice. A set of gray-level-based descriptors taking this information into account were derived from considering only a small pixel region homogenized images IH centered on the described pixel (x,y). swx,y stands for the set of coordinates in a w × w sized square window centered on point (x,y) . Then, these descriptors can be expressed as F1(x,y)=IVE(x,y) (5) F2(x,y)=meanIVEx,y) (6) S3×3x,y VII.CLASSIFICATION In the feature extraction stage, each pixel from a fundus imageis characterized by a vector in a 2-D feature space such as: F(x,y) = (f1(x,y), f2(x,y)) (7) After that classification procedure assigns class C1 as Vessel and C2 as Nonvessel to every candidate pixel. Since training dataset available for testing algorithm was not linearally separable because of the presence of vasculature structures. Some of nonlinear classifier can be found in the existing literature on Bayesian classifier, Neural network, Support Vector Machine , and kNN method . In the proposed method feed forward back propagation neural network is selected. There are two stages of neural network, one is design stage and other is application stage. In design stage configuration and training of neural network is performed. In application stage trained neural network is used to classify every pixel as Vessel or Nonvessel to obtain binary vessel image. A. Neural Network Design: A multilayer feedforward network, consisting of an input layer, three hidden layers and an output layer, is adopted in this paper. The input layer is composed by a number of neuron Fig.4.Structure of the Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network equal to the dimension of the feature vector (two neurons). Regarding the hidden layers, several topologies with different numbers of neurons were tested. A number of two hidden layers, each containing 6 and 3 neurons, provided optimal NN configuration. The output layer contains a single neuron and is attached, as the remainder units, to a nonlinear logistic sigmoid activation function, so its output ranges between 0 and 1. This choice was grounded on the fact of interpreting NN output as posterior probabilities.The training set, ST , is composed of a set of N candidates for which the feature vector [F- (7)], and the classification result (C1 or C2 : vessel or nonvessel) are known ST={F(n), Ck(n) n=1,2…,N; Kє{1,2}} (8) The samples forming were collected from manually labeled non vessel and vessel pixels in the DRIVE training images. Specifically, around 48,000 pixel samples, fairly divided into vessel and non-vessel pixels, were used. Unlike other author [8], who selected their training set by random pixel-sample extraction from available manual segmentations of DRIVE and STARE images, we produced our own training set by hand.1 As discussed in literature, gold-standard images may contain errors due to the considerable difficulty involved by the creation of these handmade images.

Neural Network Application At this stage, the trained NN is applied to an “unseen” fundus image to generate a binary image in which blood vessels are identified from retinal background: pixels’ mathematical descriptions are individually passed through the NN. In our case, the NN input units receive the set of features. Since a logistic sigmoidal activation unction wfas selected for the single neuron of the output layer, the NN decision determines a classification value between 0 and 1. Thus, a Fig.5.Output of Vessel Segmentation Method vessel probability map indicating the probability for the pixel to be part of a vessel is produced. Illustratively, the resultant probability map corresponding to a DRIVE database fundus image [Fig.5 ] is shown as an image in Fig.5. The bright pixels in this image indicate higher probability of being vessel pixel. In order to obtain a vessel binary segmentation, a thresholding scheme on the probability map is used to decide whether a particular pixel is part of a vessel or not. Therefore, the classification procedure assigns one of the classes C1 (vessel) or C2 (nonvessel) to each candidate pixel, depending on if its associated probability is greater than a threshold Th . Thus, a classification output image ICO , is obtained by associating classes C1 and C2 to the gray level values 255 and 0, respectively. Mathematically ICO = { 255 (= C1) , if p(C1| F(x,y)) ≥ Th (9) 0 (= C2) , otherwise

The optimum value of Th is selected as 80. VIII.MICROANEURYSMS DETECTION For microaneurysms detection we consider the output of vessel segmentation process i.e. IVE and after that the intensity of the image is adjusted such that intensity values in grayscale image IVE to new values in intensity adjusted image, IAI such that 1% of data is saturated at low and high intensities of IVE. This increases the contrast of the output image IAI. In addition to this it will also enhance microaneurysms structure which were difficult to identify in the vessel enhance image, IVE as shown in fig 6. Fig.6. Final Vessel Image Fig.7. Intensity Adjusted Image Fig.8.

Vessel segmentation has been done using two pixel feature, still an appreciable accuracy is attained. The advantage of the proposed method is less computation time, so that an ophthalmologist can concentrate on more severe patients rather than testing every patient. With such a screening system a person with little training can able to do testing of patient so it is not necessary to have expert ophthalmologist. Since this system is able to detect microaneurysms at earliest stage there will be remarkable cost saving in treatment. REFERENCES [1] H. R. Taylor and J. E.
