Medical Imaging systems have already proved their worth in providing cheap medical facilities to the population. Over the years the medical experts are becoming more and more concerned about the increased rate of patients facing the medical condition of diabetic retinopathy. The medical experts are becoming over loaded and a need for an automated system is established. The work presented in the paper discusses a system for referral of hard exudates. The system has been formed by combing various methods like SIFT, K-means clustering, visual dictionaries and artificial neural networks. The system displays promising results
