Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is increasing rapidly around the world, but there is a shortage of experienced ophthalmologists. Therefore, computer-based diagnosis of the fundus images is essential to screening of referable DR. Automated detection of red lesions is very important for screening of DR. This paper deals with a novel method for automatic detection of red lesion. The main contribution is developing a deep learning based detection framework to handle severe class imbalance and imbalance in sizes of red lesions. The multi-scale features are extracted using the feature pyramid network. A pyramid of features is generated with strong semantics. The proposed network is end-to-end trainable in image level with several scales and works for a wide range of red lesions with acceptable performance. Sensitivity of the proposed method is 0.76 with six false-positive per image on test set of publicly available DIARECTDB1 database and outperforms state-of-the-art approaches. A potential benefit with deep learning based detection framework could be used in screening programs of referable DR.
