A simple algorithm for automated skin lesion border detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prompt diagnosis is the most reliable solution for an effective treatment of melanoma. There is an ongoing research for providing computer-aided imaging tools in order to support the early detection and diagnosis of malignant melanomas. The first step towards producing such a diagnosis system is the automated and accurate boundary detection of skin lesion. Therefore, the present study introduces a new, simple, and very fast algorithm that has the ability to detect effectively and automatically the border of potential melanoma. The complexity of the proposed algorithm is O( N ), and thus the execution time, is dramatically minimized. Key-Words: Melanoma, Dermatoscopy, ABCD rule, Image, processing, Border detection

A 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 ...
