Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the well known metabolic illnesses. It occurs due to an excessive high level of the body’s blood sugar. I fact, this disease affects 463 million people worldwide, and this number is projected to reach 700 million by 2045, making it a serious public health problem. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common specific complication of DM. DR is a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. Early identification and treatment of DR can lower the risk of vision loss greatly. Since a manual diagnosis is prone to misdiagnosis and requires more effort, the automated methods for DR detection are cost and time effective. Deep learning is becoming a popular strategy to improve solutions in a range of fields, and in particular medical image analysis and classifications. In this paper, we are interested to propose a new convolutional neural network (CNN) for color fundus images. These images are pre-processed with various filters before being fed into the training model. Experimental results, in this work, are very encouraging and they outperform results of similar works in literature.
