This paper analyzes the problem of creating an automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) symptoms in patients treated in a nephrology clinic. The challenge was that the specialist initially classified all images obtained from Wrocław Medical University as images without DR symptoms (class 0). As a starting point, we have selected a new, relatively little-known but accurately classified by specialists database: ‘Dataset from fundus images for the study of diabetic retinopathy’ [3]. Based on this database, a CNN classifier with VGG16 architecture was trained using transfer learning. Our classifier afforded over \(84\%\) accuracy for the seven-class recognition problem, and in the case of two classes (no DR or DR decision), the classification accuracy was \(96\%\) . Unfortunately, despite some attempts to unify the photos from the database and the images from Wrocław, most of the images from the new set, treated as a test set, were classified incorrectly. Combining both sets and training a new classifier on that basis allowed us to achieve \(96\%\) accuracy in the case of two classes (no DR or DR). All images obtained from the Wrocław Medical University set that were randomly selected for the validation set were classified correctly.

摘要

This paper analyzes the problem of creating an automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) symptoms in patients treated in a nephrology clinic. The challenge was that the specialist initially classified all images obtained from Wrocław Medical University as images without DR symptoms (class 0). As a starting point, we have selected a new, relatively little-known but accurately classified by specialists database: ‘Dataset from fundus images for the study of diabetic retinopathy’ [3]. Based on this database, a CNN classifier with VGG16 architecture was trained using transfer learning. Our classifier afforded over \(84\%\) accuracy for the seven-class recognition problem, and in the case of two classes (no DR or DR decision), the classification accuracy was \(96\%\) . Unfortunately, despite some attempts to unify the photos from the database and the images from Wrocław, most of the images from the new set, treated as a test set, were classified incorrectly. Combining both sets and training a new classifier on that basis allowed us to achieve \(96\%\) accuracy in the case of two classes (no DR or DR). All images obtained from the Wrocław Medical University set that were randomly selected for the validation set were classified correctly.
