Automated prescreening of pigmented skin lesions using standard cameras
چکیده انگلیسی

This paper describes a new method for classifying pigmented skin lesions as benign or malignant. The skin lesion images are acquired with standard cameras, and our method can be used in telemedicine by non-specialists. Each acquired image undergoes a sequence of processing steps, namely: (1) preprocessing, where shading effects are attenuated; (2) segmentation, where a 3-channel image representation is generated and later used to distinguish between lesion and healthy skin areas; (3) feature extraction, where a quantitative representation for the lesion area is generated; and (4) lesion classification, producing an estimate if the lesion is benign or malignant (melanoma). Our method was tested on two publicly available datasets of pigmented skin lesion images. The preliminary experimental results are promising, and suggest that our method can achieve a classification accuracy of 96.71%, which is significantly better than the accuracy of comparable methods available in the literature.
