Diabetic retinopathy refers to the complication that occurs in the human eyes of diabetic patients, which causes severe vision problems and leads to blindness. Automatic diabetic retinopathy detection plays a crucial role over the years, which deliberately observed by the fundus images shows different color aberrations and irrelevant illuminations, resulting in inaccurate results. Numerous deep learning techniques were introduced previously but faced challenges such as poor interpretation, difficult to subtle differences between early and advanced stages, and limited efficiency over accurate diabetic retinopathy detection. This research provides three standard approaches that leverage effective diabetic retinopathy detection and endorse accuracy within noisy images. The presented deep learning models prioritize the most subtle features to capture intricate patterns of diabetic retinopathy images thereby improving the model’s stability. Incorporation of various techniques in the presented models improves image quality by attenuating complex artifacts that avail performance improvements and optimal grading. In addition to that, the presented models hold significant promises for real-time applications, thereby enhancing early diagnosis to reduce blindness.
