Abstract

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease that can lead to blindness. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss in the world. Early detection of DR is critical to prevent permanent vision loss. DR is diagnosed by a trained ophthalmologist. In many developing countries, access to ophthalmologists for regular screening is often difficult. Using Machine Learning to overcome the need for skilled personnel to diagnose DR is a viable alternative. To automate the diagnosis of DR, we preprocessed our images to obtain 6 channels before training a modified Inception-v3 model on retinal fundus images obtained from Kaggle. We then trained a second model, combining data from both eyes, obtained as outputs from Inception-v3 to diagnose the stage of DR. Using this architecture, we were able to obtain a Kappa score of 0.821 on the dataset provided by Kaggle.
