Abstract

Diabetes can cause several parts of the body to malfunction. One such malfunctions is Diabetic Retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy occurs when the lipids carried by the retinal blood vessels leak from the vessels and accumulate in the retinal area. This is caused due to high blood sugar levels which makes the vessels fragile. These accumulations are known as exudates. This paper explains a method that automatically identifies exudates in retinal images.
