Introducing Automated Melanoma Detection in a Topic Map Based Image Retrieval System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early diagnosis is the most reliable solution for an effective treatment of melanoma. There is an ongoing research effort to develop computer aided imaging tools and functional content-based image retrieval systems as diagnostic support to dermatologists. Following this spirit, a Topic Map based management and retrieval system for melanoma images has been developed. Currently, this research work focuses on developing ‘ABCD’ calculation program for Automated Melanoma Detection and employing it in the TM-based system. This paper introduces the design and methodology towards this direction. Key-words: Melanoma, Dermatoscopy, Topic maps, ABCD, Image processing, Segmentation

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملReducing Retrieval Time in Automated Storage and Retrieval System with a Gravitational Conveyor Based on Multi-Agent Systems
The main objective of this study is to reduce the retrieval time of a list of products by choosing the best combination of storage and retrieval rules at any time. This is why we start by implementing some storage rules in an Automated Storage/Retrieval System (Automated Storage and Retrieval System: AS/RS) fitted with a gravity conveyor while some of these rules are dedicated to storage and ot...
