Analysis of Diabetes Retinopathy Using Retinal Images

This project is a biomedical research-based project. There are basically two stages of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) as non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR. When a person is suffering from early stages of DR the patient cannot identify any difference in vision. But when it develops to proliferative DR, the person can experience a difference in vision. At this stage, no treatments can be done because retinal tissues are highly damaged. But if the disease is diagnosed at early stages the vision loss can be prevented.
