Abstract

Diabetic Retinopathy is a medical condition where the exudates deposit in front of the retina which causes blurriness in the vision. To avoid this condition, early detection of exudates becomes a necessary step. Due to the amalgamation of biomedical science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, many equipment and ideas are being used for improved diagnosis. The paper discusses about an embedded system approach for detection of exudates from the fundus images. The algorithm is developed using the concepts of markers and watershed algorithm. This algorithm has been tested in MATLAB. The hardware section of the algorithm is developed on an Artix 7 FPGA. The images have been adopted from databases such as DiaRetDB0, DiaRetDB1, IDRiD and MESSIDOR. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
