Background:

Microaneurysm (MA) detection in color fundus images (CFI) is crucial for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy.
Automated MA detection remains challenging due to the small size and visual similarity of MAs to blood vessels.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simple, efficient, and real-time method for segmenting and detecting microaneurysms (MA) in color fundus images (CFI).
To evaluate the robustness and performance of the proposed method across multiple public datasets.

Main Methods:

A novel feature set based on statistical geometrical properties of connected regions was employed.
The method was designed for efficient pixel discrimination between lesions and non-lesions.
Validation was performed on the DIARETDB1, ROC, STARE, and MESSIDOR datasets.

Main Results:

The proposed method demonstrated robustness across diverse image characteristics and camera settings.
On the DIARETDB1 dataset, the best performance achieved was 88.09% sensitivity at 92.65% specificity for per-image evaluation.
The results indicate strong potential for clinical utility in automated diabetic retinopathy screening.

Conclusions:

The developed method offers a simple, efficient, and real-time solution for microaneurysm detection.
The high sensitivity and specificity suggest clinical feasibility for early diabetic retinopathy detection.
The method's robustness across datasets highlights its potential for widespread application.
