OBJECTIVES To identify factors related to the detection of melanoma and to determine those that differ between thinner vs thicker tumors in middle-aged and older men. DESIGN Survey. SETTING Three institutional melanoma clinics. PARTICIPANTS Men 40 years or older who had newly diagnosed invasive melanoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Differences in melanoma awareness, skin examination practices...

This paper presents a research on object detection using image processing and neural network, entitled Nipple Detection for Obscene Pictures. Our research work is designed to enhance the effectiveness of pornography detection system by locating nipples in the picture to make sure that the given picture really contains human nudity. Our nipple detection model composing of human skin detection wh...

Abstract—Call centers have been expanding and they have influence on activation in various markets increasingly. A call center’s work is known as one of the most demanding and stressful jobs. In this paper, we propose the fatigue detection system in order to detect burnout of call center agents in the case of a neck pain and upper back pain. Our proposed system is based on the computer vision t...

Mahalanobis distance has already proved its strength in human skin detection using a set of skin values. We present this work that uses automatic skin detection after an initial camera calibration. The calibration is done by human sampling from test individuals. A scaling is performed on the work data, before applying the Mahalanobis distance that ensures better results than previous works. We ...

Skin detection is an essential step for important vision tasks such as the detection, tracking and recognition of face, segmentation of hand for gesture analysis, and person identification. Using skin color as a feature commonly raises problem related to the varying of lighting conditions due to the complex illuminated environment in the real world. Due to this problem, many researchers describ...

Face Recognition (FR) systems are increasingly gaining more importance. Face detection and tracking in a complex scene forms the first step in building a practical FR system. In this paper, a method to detect and track human faces in color image sequences is described. Skin color classification and morphological segmentation is used to detect face(s) in the first frame. These detected faces are...

We consider a feature selection method to detect skin tumors on chicken carcasses using hyperspectral reflectance data. This allows for faster data collection than does fluorescence data. A chicken skin tumor is an ulcerous lesion region surrounded by a region of thickened-skin. Detection of chicken tumors is a difficult detection problem because the tumors vary in size and shape; some tumors a...

  Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...

The face Detection methodsis used in order to provide security. The mentioned methods problems are that it cannot be categorized because of the great differences and varieties in the face of individuals. In this paper, face Detection methods has been presented for overcoming upon these problems based on skin color datum. The researcher gathered a face database of 30 individuals consisting of ov...
