Abstract :
Retinopathy is a diabetic-related complication and main cause of vision loss of the diabetic patients. Exudates are the major sign of diabetic retinopathy. This paper presents a morphology-based method for the detection of diabetic retinopathy through exudates from color fundus images. We applied our approach on fundus images and obtained satisfactory results, which are compared with the ophthalmologists´ hand-drawn ground truths.
