Many visionthreatening diseases such as, Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy are treated using digital fundus imaging and retinal images by the specialist at a primary level. However, a computer-aided system that can classify if the eye has a disease or not could be a handy tool for the specialists and a challenging task for computer aided system developers. A branch of machine learning which is deep learning is making a revolutionary impact on medical diagnosis using image processing and pattern recognition. Therefore, we aim to make use of some Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures such as ResNet50, Inception V3, Xception, DenseNet-169 and MobileNetV3 Large to extract the features and classify if the eye has a disease or not using digital fundus photography and retinal image. For our research, we used a competition dataset available from Kaggle [1] and another dataset from IDRiD [2]. Our final dataset contained a total of 2,517 images with each stage having around 500 images in them. Upon training and testing the selected architectures, we have found that Inception V3 has an accuracy of 86.31% and 87.7% (with a lowered learning rate). Similarly for Xception, we attained 86.9% accuracy with default learning rate and 87.9% accuracy with lowered learning rate. ResNet50 gave an accuracy of 46.83%, MobileNetV3 Large gave the lowest accuracy standing at 23.81%. DenseNet-169 gave us the highest accuracy among all other models, soaring at 88.29% accuracy.55 pagesenBrac University theses are protected by copyright.
