    A Transfer Learning Approach for Diabetic Retinopathy Classification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Krishnan, A.S.; Clive, D.R.; Bhat, V.; Ramteke, P.B.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    Diabetic Retinopathy is a disease in which the retina is damaged due to diabetes mellitus. It is a leading cause for blindness today. Detection and quantification of such mellitus from retinal images is tedious and requires expertise. In this paper, an automatic identification of severity of Diabetic Retinopathy using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with a transfer learning approach has been proposed to aid the diagnostic process. A comparison of different CNN architectures such as ResNet, Inception-ResNet-v2 etc. is done using the quadratic weighted kappa metric. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the proposed approach is carried out on the Diabetic Retinopathy detection dataset from Kaggle. From the results, we observe that the proposed model achieves a kappa score of 0.76. © 2018 IEEE.

    Deep Learning based detection of Diabetic Retinopathy from Inexpensive fundus imaging techniques
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Mukesh, B.R.; Harish, T.; Mayya, V.; Kamath S․, S.
    Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness across the world as per statistics published by the World Health Organization. Recently, there has been significant research on adopting deep learning methodologies to automate and improve the process of evaluating the advent and progress of chronic eye diseases using eye fundus images. Typically, eye fundus imaging equipment is used by trained specialists for evaluating eye health, however, fundus imaging tends to be expensive, and also the high-end equipment used is typically available in large hospitals and urban areas. This cost barrier leads to an imbalance in care between the developed and developing parts of the world. In this paper, we propose an inexpensive stand-in for such a device and a deep neural model pipeline that is able to analyze these images to determine the need for further evaluation from a trained ophthalmologist. The pipeline is able to achieve an AUC score of 0.9781 in detecting Referable DR. We also benchmark the proposed deep learning pipeline against other pipelines on standard datasets to demonstrate the capability of the network. © 2021 IEEE.

    Exploring Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification and Object Detection
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Sadhankar, D.S.; Illa, M.; Shetty, P.; Kumar, S.V.; Megha, M.K.; Ambilwade, R.P.
    Convolutional Neural Networks or CNNs are one of the newest powerful tools in various tasks of computer vision such as image classification or object detection providing the highest accuracy. This paper also aims to evaluate the efficiency of the CNNs in these areas using a real-world dataset from Kaggle. We discuss general issues and ways to address it, such as data augmentation, dropout and choose the best/settled value of hyperparameters for improvement of the model. This paper aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of CNN in learning discriminative features from the images and confirm that CNNs are among the most accurate models for image classification. Moreover, this study also provides suggestions for subsequent research work, including improving the CNN architectures, employing transfer learning, and incorporating interpretation methods to continue enhancing the performance of CNNs in computer vision. © 2024 IEEE.
