Publication date: June 2019Source: Chinese Medical Sciences Journal, Volume 34, Issue 2Author(s): Yulan Dai, Chengzhang Zhu, Xi Shan, Zhenzhen Cheng, Beiji ZouAbstractDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of vision loss and can be effectively avoided by screening, early diagnosis and treatment. In order to increase the universality and efficiency of DR screening, many efforts have been invested in developing intelligent screening, and there have been great advances. In this paper, we survey DR screening from four perspectives: 1) public color fundus image datasets of DR; 2) DR classification and related lesion-extraction approaches; 3) existing computer-aided systems for DR screening; and 4) existing issues, challenges, and research trends. Our goal is to provide insights for future research directions on DR intelligent screening.
