Abstract :
Diabetic retinopathy is an open topic on which research has been ongoing for the past few decades. The damage caused by diabetic retinopathy can be prevented by the early detection of microaneurysm in the retina. This review focuses on microaneurysm detection, which is the commonly observed complication in diabetic patients. Some of algorithms used for microaneurysm detection from retinal fundus images are reviewed and summarized.
