There are two stages of the disease including the non-proliferative and proliferative. Eyesight loss is blocked by means of early detection and diagnosis of non-proliferative DR findings. In this study, we designed a decision support system for automatic detection of hard exudates which are early stage DR lesions. This system consists of region-of-interest, feature extraction, visual dictionary and classifying stages. We tested the performance of the system, which we carried out based on system learning and analysis of new retinal images, on the public DIARETDB1 retinal image dataset. Experimental results showed us that machine learning technique suggested by us is successful.</p></abstract>

Bu hastalığın erken evre (nonproliferatif)veileri evre (proliferative) olmak üzere iki aşaması vardır. Erken evreDRbulgularının erken tanı ve teşhisi sayesinde görme kaybının önüne geçilir.
