Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most important microvascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus. The early signs of DR are microaneurysms, which can lead to complete vision loss. The detection of DR at an early stage can help to avoid non-reversible blindness. To do this, we incorporated fuzzy logic techniques into digital image processing to conduct effective detection. The digital fundus images were segmented using particle swarm optimization to identify microaneurysms. The particle swarm optimization clustering combined the membership functions by grouping the high similarity data into clusters. Model testing was conducted on the publicly available dataset called DIARETDB0, and image segmentation was done by probability-based (PBPSO) clustering algorithms. Different fuzzy models were applied and the outcomes were compared with our probability discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results revealed that the proposed PSO algorithm achieved an accuracy of 99.9% in the early detection of DR.
