Eye Disease Detection Using Computer Vision

Abstract

Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy(DR) are among the leading causes of blindness. Belated handling of Cataract can impact the vision causing blindness. Often the scarcity of experts can lead to delayed diagnosis, resulting in untreatable conditions. But detection of these diseases at earliest stage and treatment can aid patient in avoiding vision loss. An automatic disease detection system can help this by providing accurate and early diagnosis. In proposed system, diagnosis will be obtained using image processing and mining techniques on fundus image. Feature extraction using DCT. K-NN classification algorithm will be used to classify the image in a specific class (Normal,Glaucoma,DR or Cataract).
