... uman life. Therefore awareness and early detection are the key factors in the prevention of diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, we have presented a survey on the latest work carried by the various researchers in the domain along with their contributions. In this paper we have highlighted various research datasets available to work in this field. In this paper we present a model to predict the various class labels of the diabetic retinopathy. In the proposed paper we use data augmentation methods along with histogram equalization. Randomized Hough Transform is used to find the edges. Deep CNN model is used to classify the images. Accuracy of the classifier is around 95% with sensitivity around 90%.
