DR Detection Tools, Techniques, Methodologies, and Performance Evaluation (II).

Ref. No DL Method Major Focus Environment Performance Criteria
[41] Graph-NN Propose GNN model which
consists of two features.
One is to extract region-of-interest
focusing only regions to
remove noise while preprocessing
and others in applying GNN
for classification
No Accuracy = 80%
[42] CNN Constructed a model in
which artificial neurons are
organized in a hierarchical
manner which are able
to learn multiple level
of abstraction
No Accuracy = 79.3%
[43] Deep CNN Use VGG-16 DCNN to
automatically detect local
features and to generate
a classification model
No Specificity 97%,
Sensitivity 96.7%
[44] CNN Demonstrates the potential of
CNN to classify DR fundus
images based of severity
in real times
No AUC 96.6%,
Specificity = 97.2 %,
Sensitivity = 94.7%
[45] Ensemble
DNN
Build high quality medical
imaging dataset of DR
also propose a grading and
identification system called DeepDR
and evaluate the model
using nine validity matrices
No Specificity = 92.29%,
Sensitivity = 80.28%
[46] Modified Hopfield
NN
Propose Modify Hopfield neural
network to handling drawbacks
of conventional HNN where
weigh values changed based
on the output values
in order to avoid the
local minima
Keras AUC = 90.1 %,
Sensitivity = 84.6, 90.6,
Specificity = 79.9, 90 %
[47] Deep CNN DCNN pooling layer is replaced
with fractional max pooling
to drive more discriminative
features for classification
also use SVM to classify
underlying boundary of distribution.
Furthermore build an app
called Deep Retina
No Accuracy = 99.25%,
Specificity = 99.0%
[48] DCNN Data driven features learned
from deep learning network
through dataset and then
these deep features were
propagated into a tree
based classification model
that output a final
diagnostic disease
No Accuracy = 86.71,
Specificity = 90.89,
Sensitivity = 89.30
[49] DNN Propose Alex Net DNN
with caffeNet model to
extract multi-dimensional
features at fully connected
DNN layers and use SVM
for optimal five class
DR classification
No AUC = 97%,
Sensitivity = 94,
Specificity = 98
[50] CNN Build an automated system
to detect DR IDX-DR
X2.1 composed of client software
and analysis software.
The device applied
a set of CNN based detectors
to examine each image
No Accuracy = 97.93
[51] DCNN Proposed a systematic computation
model using DCNN for DR
classification and assessed
performance on non-open dataset
and found that model
achieves better results
with only a small fraction
of training set images
No AUC = 98.0%,
Sensitivity = 96.8,
Specificity = 87.0
[52] CNN Employ LSTM, CNN, and
their combination for extracting
complex features to input
into heart rate variability
dataset.
No Sensitivity = 88.3,
Specificity = 98.0
