Three-phase general border detection method for dermoscopy images using non-uniform illumination correction

Background

Computer-aided diagnosis of dermoscopy images has shown great promise in developing a quantitative, objective way of classifying skin lesions. An important step in the classification process is lesion segmentation. Many studies have been successful in segmenting melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs), but few have focused on non-melanocytic skin lesions (NoMSLs), as the wide variety of lesions makes accurate segmentation difficult.



Methods

We developed an automatic segmentation program for detecting borders of skin lesions in dermoscopy images. The method consists of a pre-processing phase, general lesion segmentation phase, including illumination correction, and bright region ...
