Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is an important disease which needs to be diagnosed in earlier to prevent the harmful heart attacks. This paper outlines a brief survey over different techniques developed to diagnose the DR through retinal images. Briefly the earlier approaches are classified into preprocessing and feature extraction techniques. The main objectives f feature extraction techniques is to normalize the retinal image such that it is suitable for analysis and further the feature extraction techniques aims in the extraction of optimal feature set to make the detection system more effective. The pros and cons of all earlier approaches are also discussed in this paper
