Abstract
Retinoblastoma is becoming a major incurable disease when not detected at its earlier stage. The Retinoblastoma is a form of cancer mostly occurs in young children retina. The leakage from the retinal blood vessels called exudates is considered to be one of the major symptoms of this cancer. The identification and extraction of the exudates from the retinal fundus image is a complicated task in computerized and automated methods. This research work is proposed to localize the exudates from the retinal fundus image using image processing techniques. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed using the calculation of accuracy and execution time.
