Abstract
In medical field, diagnosis of diseases is competently carried out with the help of image processing. So that the retrieval of the relevant data from the amalgamation of resulting image is a hard process. Human eye is an important organ that reacts to light and has several purposes. The eye is composed of a number of components which include but are not limited to the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, macula, optic nerve, choroid and vitreous. The significant health issues among the senior individuals are eye ailments. Retina is said to be one of the most important internal component of the eye. Retinal images could be used in several applications that help in diagnosing the disease and human recognition. They also play a major role in early detection of diseases related to cardio vascular diseases by comparing the states of the retinal blood vessels. Retinal Image Analysis (RIA) is a key element in detecting diseases in patients. Applications of retinal images are diagnosing the progress of some cardiovascular diseases, diagnosing the region with no blood vessels (Macula).Retinal image analysis is a complicated task particularly because of the variability of the images in terms of the color, the morphology of the retinal anatomical structure and the existence of particular features in different patients, which may lead to an erroneous interpretation In this work we detect the blood vessels effectively by using deep Neural Networks (NN) for segmentation and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification and the diagnosis of disease such as stroke, heart attack and cardio vascular diseases. The experimental result shows a better accuracy in predicting the disease.
