Description
Summary:Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading disabling chronic diseases, and one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world. Early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy enables timely treatment and in order to achieve it a major effort will have to be invested into screening programs and especially into automated screening programs. For automated screening programs to work robustly a representative fundus image database is required. In this paper we give an overview of currently available databases and present a new diabetic retinopathy database. Our database is to our knowledge the first and only database which has diabetic retinopathy pathologies and major fundus structures annotated for every image from the database which makes it perfect for design and evaluation of currently available and new image processing algorithms for early detection of diabetic retinopathy using color fundus images.
