Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major reason of blindness around the world. The ophthalmologist manually analyzes the morphological alterations in veins of retina, and lesions in fundus images that is a time-taking, costly, and challenging procedure. It can be made easier with the assistance of computer aided diagnostic system (CADs) that are utilized for the diagnosis of DR lesions. Artificial intelligence (AI) based machine/deep learning methods performs vital role to increase the performance of the detection process, especially in the context of analyzing medical fundus images. In this paper, several current approaches of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction/selection, and classification are discussed for the detection of DR lesions. This survey paper also includes a detailed description of DR datasets that are accessible by the researcher for the identification of DR lesions. The existing methods limitations and challenges are also addressed, which will assist invoice researchers to start their work in this domain.
