Improved Microaneurysm Detection using Deep Neural Networks
In this work, we propose a novel microaneurysm (MA) detection for early diabetic retinopathy screening using color fundus images. Since MA usually the first lesions to appear as an indicator of diabetic retinopathy, accurate detection of MA is necessary for treatment. Each pixel of the image is classified as either MA or non-MA using a deep neural network with dropout training procedure using maxout activation function. No preprocessing step or manual feature extraction is required. Substantial improvements over standard MA detection method based on the pipeline of preprocessing, feature extraction, classification followed by post processing is achieved. The presented method is evaluated in publicly available Retinopathy Online Challenge (ROC) and Diaretdb1v2 database and achieved state-of-the-art accuracy.
