Abstract

Micro aneurysms are one of the first visible clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy and their detection can help diagnose the progression of the disease. In this paper, we propose to use a hybrid evolutionary algorithm to evolve the structure and parameters of a Hidden Markov Model to obtain an optimised model that best represents the different contexts of micro aneurysms sub images. This technique not only identifies the optimal number of states, but also determines the topology of the Hidden Markov Model, along with the initial model parameters. We also make a comparison between evolutionary algorithms to determine the best method to obtain an optimised model.
