We address the problem of detecting microaneurysms in retinal fundus images. Retinal microaneurysms are the ear liest known indicator of diabetic retinopathy, an affliction which may result in blindness. We derive a maximum mar gin classifier capable of utilizing a collection of strong base classifiers, each of which may impose a different similar ity inducing kernel in the input space. Our experiments demonstrate that the resulting classifier is accurate and at least on par with the previous approaches to the problem.
