To improve the diagnostic efficiency of diabetic retinopathy(DR),we proposed a DR classification model based on the VOLO network.First,the depthwise convolution module was added to Outlook attention to improve the expression ability of attention.Then the normalization-based attention module was embedded in the backend of the attention mechanism to highlight the salient fea-tures,thereby completing the DR classification of lesion severity.The experimental results showed that the classification accuracy of the model reached 89.10%.This research model has good feasibility and can better assist doctors in clinical precision treatment.
