Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the major reasons for blindness in humans. DR detection at the early stage is a very hard and challenging one. Rapid advancements in computer-aided systems necessitate an error-prone framework that can detect DR severity grading accurately. We attempt to design a cognitive-inspired intelligent tool for detecting DR from diabetic retinal fundus images. We presented novel framework which consists of stages of a deep light-weight convolution neural network (CNN) model that can be able to process and perform well even for lowquality diabetic retinopathy images. The proposed framework can be able to extract hard and soft exudates from the images very accurately for further processing using a small attention-based mechanism inspired by the small face attention network. The system is evaluated on the benchmark APTOS dataset and shows improved performance over traditional techniques.
