Abstract

With the rapid urbanization and growth of work-oriented atmosphere, stress in one’s life is not left behind. Though stress is casually linked with mental depression and exhaustion, it also induces physical malady. Diabetes is one such ailment that is caused by stress. If the blood sugar levels are not controlled, this may result in Diabetic Retinopathy, where the blood vessels break down in the retina of the eye, leading in formation of exudates. These irregularities caused due to accumulation of leaked lipids and fats, can be witnessed in fundus images. A novel algorithm is proposed in this paper to detect exudates. The technique has been developed on MATLAB. It involves elementary concepts of image processing to detect exudates, also to eliminate optic disc. This has been tested on 60 images. This method yields an accuracy of 90%.
