In this research article, we proposedannew algorithm for the detection and counting of microaneurysms
from retinal images. Two fundus image database were used. DIARECT DB0 and DIARECT DB1, total 219 fundus
images. For detection and counting of microaneurysms we were used digital image processing techniques, such as green
channel separation, image complement function, histogram and histogram equalization functions etc. This algorithm is
achieved 92.69% accuracy. Means 203 images are correctly identified whereas 16 images were wrongly classified.
