Modified EfficientNetB3 Deep Learning Model to Classify Colour Fundus Images of Eye Diseases

Abstract

The only way to prevent blindness from eye problems is by early detection and prompt treatment. Although colour fundus photography (CFP) is useful for fundus inspection, there is a need for computer-assisted automated diagnosis tools due to the similarities between the early symptoms of many eye disorders. The suggested approach uses cutting-edge deep learning model to categorize images into several disease categories by learning distinguishing features from the input images. The high-resolution fundus photos from individuals with diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, cataract, and healthy eyes make up most of the dataset used for this research. The experimental findings show that the suggested system achieve 97% accuracy with modified efficientNetB3 model and surpasses current approaches for categorizing eye diseases. This approach may help doctors diagnose and treat eye conditions earlier, leading to better patient outcomes.
