Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. The symptoms call blur or distort the patient's vision and are a main cause of blindness. Exudates are one of the primary signs of diabetic retinopathy. Detection of exudates by ophthalmologists normally requires pupil dilation using a chemical Solution which takes time and affects patients. This paper investigates and proposes a set of optimally adjusted morphological operators 10 be used for exudate detection on diabetic retinopathy patients' non-dilated, pupil and low-contrast images. These automatically detected exudates are validated by comparing with expert ophthalmologists' hand-drawn ground-truths. The results are successful and the sensitivity and specificity for Our exudate detection is 80% and 99.5%, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
