%X Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a severe eye disease that can lead to irreversible blindness if it is left untreated. DME diagnosis still relies on manual evaluation from opthalmologists, thus the process is time consuming and diagnosis may be subjective. This paper presents two novel DME detection frameworks: (1) combining features from three pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks: AlexNet, VggNet and GoogleNet and performing feature space reduction using Principal Component Analysis and (2) a majority voting scheme based on a plurality rule between classifications from AlexNet, VggNet and GoogleNet. Experiments were conducted using Optical Coherence Tomography datasets retrieved from the Singapore Eye Research Institute and the Chinese University Hong Kong. The results are evaluated using a Leave-Two-Patients-Out Cross Validation at the volume level. This method improves DME classification with an accuracy of 93.75, which is similar to the best algorithms so far on the same data sets. © 2018 IEEE.
