Tree-structure Based Framework for Automated Skin Lesion Analysis
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is one of the most frequent types of cancer in the world but if a malignant lesion is detected early, it can be cured without complication. Automated skin lesion analysis attempts to accomplish early detection of malignancy using digital dermoscopic images. We address two challenging applications in automated analysis of dermoscopic skin lesion images: lesion segmen...
متن کاملTree Structured Model of Skin Lesion Growth Pattern via Color Based Cluster Analysis
This paper presents a novel approach to analysis and classification of skin lesions based on their growth pattern. Our method constructs a tree structure for every lesion by repeatedly subdividing the image into sub-images using color based clustering. In this method, segmentation which is a challenging task is not required. The obtained multi-scale tree structure provides a framework that allo...
متن کاملClassification of melanoma using tree structured wavelet transforms
This paper presents a wavelet transform based tree structure model developed and evaluated for the classification of skin lesion images into melanoma and dysplastic nevus. The tree structure model utilizes a semantic representation of the spatial-frequency information contained in the skin lesion images including textural information. Results show that the presented method is effective in discr...
متن کاملOn the geometric modulation of skin lesion growth: a mathematical model for melanoma
Introduction: Early detection of suspicious skin lesions is critical to prevent skin malignancies, particularly the melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of human skin cancer. In the last decade, image processing techniques have been an increasingly important tool for early detection and mathematical models play a relevant role in mapping the progression of lesions. Methods: This work pres...
