Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) is a serious eye disease that causes the retinal arteries to change. This change is mainly due to the fact of high blood pressure. Cotton wool patches, bleeding in the retina, and retinal artery constriction are affected lesions of HR symptoms.

1. Introduction

Hypertensive retinopathy is the most common cause of retinal disease (HR). According to reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), most of the increase in the number of people with hypertension has occurred in low- and middle-income countries, increasing from 594 million in 1975 to 1.13 billion in 2015. The prevalence of existing conditions that enhance the possibility of developing hypertension is primarily responsible for this trend. A total of 1.56 billion people are expected to have hypertension by the year 2025. In addition, over 66% of people with hypertension reside in poor or underdeveloped countries, which makes the condition worse due to the lack of resources for healthcare that may be used in its diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment [1].
In practice, the ophthalmoscopic features of an HR examination show the effects on arteriolar constriction, arteriovenous nicking, vascular wall changes, flame-shaped hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, yellow hard exudates, and optic disk edema. Hypertension-induced ocular damage mainly includes choroidopathy, optic neuropathy, and hypertensive retinopathy [2]. Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) is an important disease to classify because it can cause vision loss. HR might also cause heart disease, which can be fatal. Thus, it has been recognized as posing a severe threat to general human health worldwide. If hypertension is detected and treated early, the risk of HR may be decreased. The early stages of HR are difficult to identify, since there are not enough experienced ophthalmologists or advanced imaging technologies that can classify the disease at this stage [3]. HR symptoms induce nicking of the retina, arteriolar narrowing, and arteriovenous narrowing [4]. Cotton wool spots, hemorrhages, papilledema, microaneurysms, and optical nerve and retinal edema are further notable signs of an eye condition associated with HR. Previous literature suggests that approximately 10% of adults without diabetes have modest signs of HR [5]. Fundus images captured by an optical device can reveal retinal microvascular abnormalities, according to recent studies. Due to the fact of its low cost, ease of use, and ability to accurately portray many clinical lesion structures in its fundus images, this fundus camera is frequently used to safely evaluate HR patients [6]. According to several research studies [7], mobile-based AI can assist in the detection of HR. Because mobile devices have lower memory and processing capacities, most of the significant research effort focuses on employing designs that are bulky and computationally costly. A dense block may create fewer convolution kernels and more feature maps, fully utilize the output feature maps of the preceding convolution layers, and realize the recurrent usage of features. To make MobileNet’s parameters and calculations even more manageable for mobile devices with limited memory, a modest growth rate option is used. HR can cause damage to certain eye areas. If these damaged areas are not recognized at an early stage, hypertensive retinopathy develops. Figure 1 displays images of a clean retinal fundus and images showing symptoms of an eye disease brought on by HR.

Ophthalmologists can find different retinal diseases, such as those linked to HR, with the help of computerized methods [8]. These technologies aid academics and the global medical profession by enabling self-diagnosis. Optometrists use these technologies to treat and diagnose eye-related illnesses, particularly those that are HR-related. Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) can be identified by segmenting the retina’s structural features, such as the macular, optic nerves, arteries, and vasculature, as illustrated in Figure 1. There are two ways of extracting features from eye images: using either deep-learning models or handcrafted feature extraction techniques. In the case of using deep-learning techniques for feature extraction, these features can be statistically evaluated to determine the best features to identify HR or non-HR illness. Deep learning techniques have been applied for many applications, such as computer vision algorithms [9], biological behavior analysis, and many other different applications. A visual diagram of (a) normal and (b) hypertensive retinopathy (HR) is displayed in Figure 2.

2. Mobile-HR: An Ophthalmologic-Based Classification System for Diagnosis of Hypertensive Retinopathy Using Optimized MobileNet Architecture

DL-based image diagnosis methods were developed in the past to help doctors make more accurate HR diagnoses. Before 2016, most studies used standard methods for preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Public access to various skin lesion databases is now possible. To distinguish between HRs, researchers have developed DL algorithms [10]. Over time, it became clear that the CNNs retrieved more useful characteristics than the handcrafted techniques.
Many research articles [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] have focused on how to make small, effective networks that can be used for many different things. Researchers have tried out a wide range of methods, such as training network models and making older models smaller. Andrew et al. [12] came up with an efficient way to design lightweight neural networks that can be used in a number of computer vision applications, such as fine-grained classification and object identification, to achieve the benefits of small, low-latency models. Some authors have used the fuzzy inference method to determine how likely it is that diabetes will cause serious problems.
After looking at data with the VGG-19, MobileNet, and Resnet models [14], Wu and Hu [13] came up with a transfer learning classification method for hypertensive retinopathy. When the transfer learning approach is applied to the Kaggle dataset, the experimental accuracy is 60%, which is better than the model’s initial learning. Sun and Zhang published a model to detect hypertensive retinopathy [15]. Five distinct algorithms, including decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, logistic regression, and naive Bayesian, were utilized in electronic health records from 201 institutions [16] to improve diagnosis. They compared these models, and out of the five models, the random forest model had the highest accuracy (92%). In using the retinal vasculature as a crucial indicator for intelligent, DL-based screening and analysis of the diagnosis of diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy [17], when compared to cutting-edge techniques for automated vessel detection for diagnostic purposes, the authors’ accuracy results demonstrated the suggested method’s remarkable segmentation capability.
Mukesh et al. [18] proposed a system to detect HR lesions by suggesting a regional IoT-enabled federated learning-based categorization strategy (IoT-FHR) that integrates both global and local features. To improve the effectiveness of the classification of IoT-FHR, the local feature arterial and venous nicking (AVN) classification model was fused with the general IoT-FHR classification model. When evaluated on a private dataset, the recommended fusion model’s accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 93.50%, 69.83%, and 98.33%, respectively. Joseph et al. [19] proposed a machine-learning-based automated method for HR detection using fundus photographs. The study emphasizes how an early diagnosis of some medical issues using only a photograph acquired from the fundus image of the eye is more effective when conducted using computer-automated methods rather than manual observation techniques. In their study, Arslan et al. [20] suggest the dual-stream fusion network (DSF-Net) and the dual-stream aggregation network (DSA-Net) as two new shallow-DL architectures that can be used to recognize retinal vasculature. Semantic segmentation is used to find diabetic and hypertensive retinopathies in raw color fundus images. The effectiveness of the suggested strategy was evaluated using three publicly accessible metrics. The results of the experiments further demonstrate that the DSA-Net offers greater SE in comparison to the current methods. This study developed a system that is not as deep as standard semantic segmentation networks but delivers acceptable segmentation with limited trainable parameters and layers. Compared to existing methods, the proposed approach outperformed them on three publicly accessible datasets in terms of sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, and accuracy metrics.
The study in [21] stated that deep learning ideas could be used to find HR and showed that the validation sensitivity was 95%. The most important thing that this study adds is the preprocessing step of adaptive histogram equalization. Some other interesting work in HR detection using machine learning models can be found in [22][23][24][25][26]. Qureshi et al. [27] developed a way to find HR using fundus images based on a depthwise separable CNN network. Their work reported a 95% accuracy and a 0.96 AUC. In [28], the authors propose using a fundus image as input for a CNN to classify images into HR and non-HR images. The proposed system was tested using the DRIVE dataset and based on experiments; the accuracy of the proposed model reached 98.6%.
Abbas et al. [29] came up with a new way to find hypertensive retinopathy (called DenseHyper) in retinal fundus images. Through ten-fold cross-validation, the proposed work performed much better than other algorithms, with an average accuracy of 95%. Recently, Arsalan et al. [30] came up with a new way for computers to help diagnose diabetes and high blood pressure retinopathy. They used shallow neural networks that are easy on memory, pool-less segmentation networks (PLS-net), and pool-less residual segmentation networks (PLRS-net). The DRIVE, CHASE-DB1, and STARE databases, which are all publicly accessible, were used for the research. The PLRS-net outperformed PLS-net by averaging an 82% sensitivity across all three datasets, which was better than PLS-net’s performance. The authors of [31] also created a five-step HR recognition system using semantic and instance segmentation in the DenseNet architecture.
There are three ways to classify segmented images in the literature [32]: Efficient-Net, VGG-16, and ResNet-152. Using the ensemble method, the generated feature vectors were combined, and the SoftMax classifier was used to accurately classify eleven different types of retinal disorders. The suggested method for recognizing HR had an accuracy of 99.71%, a precision of 98.63%, a recall of 98.25%, and an F measure of 99.22%. In [33], on the other hand, the authors used a segmentation method for blood vessels without considering any other HR properties.
