If the disease is detected early and treated promptly many of the visual loss can be prevented. DR occurs in one of the two types,1.Non-proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy(NPDR), 2.Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy(PDR).This paper describes the development of an automatic fundus image processing and analytic system to facilitate diagonosis of the opthalmologis. Detection of DR disease is done using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) method and the two types are classified and diagnosed successfully. The accuracy of the proposed system is 76.25%
