Diabetic retinopathy, the most common diabetic eye disease, occurs when blood vessels in the retina change. Sometimes these vessels swell and leak fluid or even close off completely. In other cases, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. Early detection can potentially reduce the risk of blindness. This paper presents an automated method for the detection of exudates in retinal color fundus images with high accuracy, First, the image is converted to HSI model, after preprocessing possible regions containing exudate, the segmented image without Optic Disc (OD) using algorithm Graph cuts, Invariant moments Hu in extraction feature vector are then classified as exudates and non-exudates using a Neural Network Classifier. All tests are applied on database DIARETDB1.

Abstract-The explosive growth of image data leads to the research and development of image content searching and indexing systems. Image annotation systems aim at annotating automatically animage with some controlled keywords that can be used for indexing and retrieval of images. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of the image content annotation system by using the multilayer neural networks and the nearest neighbour classifier. The region growing segmentation is used to separate objects, the Hu moments, Legendre moments and Zernike moments which are used in as feature descriptors for the image content characterization and annotation.The ETH-80 database image is used in the experiments here. The best annotation rate is achieved by using Legendre moments as feature extraction method and the multilayer neural network as a classifier.
