An Ensemble Approaches to Improve Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Detection and Severity Classification from Retinal Fundus Images
摘要
To find a treatment that works and avoids severe vision loss, Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) must be effectively detected and graded. However, DR screening programmers face difficulties due to the accessibility of human graders and the inefficiency of manual fundus image analysis. The research presented here introduces a comprehensive approach that combines both Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) approaches for enhancing the advanced detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and screening diabetics' eyes for damage. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and classifiers like Support Vector Machines (SVM) and XGBoost can be combined in an innovative methodology called the CGSX ensemble. Our proposed work has the best overall performance, 0.95 F1 score achieving 0.95 precision, 0.94 recall, and 0.94 accuracy.
