Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent impediment of diabetes marked by irregular blood vessel development in the eye’s retina, potentially resulting in blindness if not properly managed. Conventional diabetic retinopathy screening by eye doctors takes up a lot of time, underscoring the necessity for improved detection techniques. This research investigates employing deep learning (DL) for automating DR detection by utilizing MobileNet, a compact model trained on 3,662 high-resolution fundus images from the Diabetic retinopathy Gaussian filtered dataset. The MobileNet model categorizes DR into five different levels, from 0 to 4. In order to enhance precision, we explore hybrid models that combine MobileNet with different architectures. The MobileNet + Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) combination aims to highlight the connections between sequences and time intervals, improving the model’s capacity to identify subtle changes in DR stages. On the contrary, the fusion of MobileNet with Graph Neural Network (GNN) recognizes detailed spatial designs in retinal pictures, enhancing the model’s capability to analyze intricate structural characteristics. Our findings indicate that the MobileNet + GNN model had a higher accuracy when compared to the MobileNet + RNN model. These results show that combining spatial and temporal feature extraction in hybrid models can greatly enhance DR detection, providing a more effective option compared to conventional methods. This method shows a hopeful advancement in automatic, immediate DR screening within clinical environments.

摘要

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent impediment of diabetes marked by irregular blood vessel development in the eye’s retina, potentially resulting in blindness if not properly managed. Conventional diabetic retinopathy screening by eye doctors takes up a lot of time, underscoring the necessity for improved detection techniques. This research investigates employing deep learning (DL) for automating DR detection by utilizing MobileNet, a compact model trained on 3,662 high-resolution fundus images from the Diabetic retinopathy Gaussian filtered dataset. The MobileNet model categorizes DR into five different levels, from 0 to 4. In order to enhance precision, we explore hybrid models that combine MobileNet with different architectures. The MobileNet + Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) combination aims to highlight the connections between sequences and time intervals, improving the model’s capacity to identify subtle changes in DR stages. On the contrary, the fusion of MobileNet with Graph Neural Network (GNN) recognizes detailed spatial designs in retinal pictures, enhancing the model’s capability to analyze intricate structural characteristics. Our findings indicate that the MobileNet + GNN model had a higher accuracy when compared to the MobileNet + RNN model. These results show that combining spatial and temporal feature extraction in hybrid models can greatly enhance DR detection, providing a more effective option compared to conventional methods. This method shows a hopeful advancement in automatic, immediate DR screening within clinical environments.
