Description
Summary:Visual inspection of skin lesion may be time consuming and is prone to inaccuracy. Conventionally, dennatologist has to visually inspect and manually calculate the percentage of affected area on patient's body. Though the estimation is highly subjective, therefore a computerized system of detecting and calculating affected area will be very helpful. This report presents a computer vision method for analysis of lesion area. The most crucial part of this work is segmentation. In this paper, we present three methods of segmenting lesion area (represented as colored patches) which are !.segmentation in HSI color space, 2. segmentation in ROB color space and 3. segmentation in quantized ROB color space. The result of three methods will then be compared to select the method that yield the best segmentation result.
