AbstractWe address the problem of detecting microaneurysms in retinal fundus images. Retinal microaneurysms are the earliest known indicator of diabetic retinopathy, an affliction which may result in blindness. We derive a maximum margin classifier capable of utilizing a collection of strong base classifiers, each of which may impose a different similarity induced kernel in the input space. Our experiments demonstrate that the resulting classifier is accurate and at least on par with the previous approaches to the problem. | EPrint Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) |
