Abstract

This research proposes an integrated approach for automated diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnosis, leveraging a combination of machine learning and deep learning techniques to extract features and perform classification tasks effectively. Through preprocessing of retinal images to enhance features and mitigate noise, two distinct methodologies are employed: machine learning feature extraction, targeting texture features like Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gray-Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM), and deep learning feature extraction, utilizing pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as VGG, ResNet, or Inception. Following feature extraction, various classifiers, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, and Gradient Boosting Machines, are trained on the extracted features for DR classification. Alternatively, deep learning classifiers like CNNs or recurrent neural networks (RNNs) may be trained directly on the extracted features or on raw images. This comprehensive framework shows promising potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnosis, enabling timely intervention and management of this vision-threatening condition.

Keywords: Diabetic Retinopathy, Feature Extraction, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Classification.
