Multiple Eye Disease Detection using Hybrid Adaptive Mutation Swarm Optimization and RNN

Abstract

The major cause of visual impairment in aged people is due to age related eye diseases such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Early detection of eye diseases is necessary for better diagnosis. This paper concentrates on the early identification of various eye disorders such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma from retinal fundus images. The proposed method focuses on the automated early detection of multiple diseases using hybrid adaptive mutation swarm optimization and regression neural networks (AED-HSR). In the proposed work, the input images are preprocessed and then multiple features such as entropy, mean, color, intensity, standard deviation, and statistics are extracted from the collected data. The extracted features are segmented by using an adaptive mutation swarm optimization (AMSO) algorithm to segment the disease sector from the fundus image. Finally, the features collected are fed to a regression neural network (RNN) classifier to classify each fundus image as normal or abnormal. If the classifier output is abnormal, then it is classified by the corresponding diseases in terms of cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, which improves the accuracy of detection and classification. Ultimately, the results of the classifiers are evaluated by several performance analyses and the viability of structural and functional features is considered. The proposed system predicts the type of the disease with an accuracy of 0.9808, specificity of 0.9934, sensitivity of 0.9803 and F1 score of 0.9861 respectively.
