Outline • Skin cancer back- Ground information • Materials and methods • Image Acquisition Techniques • Definition of Features for the Classification of Skin Lesions • Skin lesion classification methods • Results
Definition of Features for the Classification of Skin Lesions • ABCD Rule • pattern analysis • Menzies method • seven-point checklist; • texture analysis
ABCD rules • asymmetry • border • color • differential structures
Pattern analysis • Menzies method • Seven-point check list • atypical pigment network, blue-whitish veil, atypical vascular pattern • irregular streaks, irregular dots/globules, irregular blotches, and regression structures • Texture analysis
SKIN LESION CLASSIFICATION METHODS • Learning Phase • statistical • Neural networks • support vector machine (SVM) • adaptive wavelet-transform-based tree-structure classification (ADWAT) • Testing Phase
Feature selection • The success of image recognition depends on the correct selection of the features => optimization problem • heuristic strategies, greedy or genetic algorithms • strategies from statistical pattern recognition • XVAL, LOO, SFFS, SBFS, PCA, GSFS
Conclusion • It is often difficult to differentiate early melanoma from other benign skin lesions even for experienced • It is even more difficult for primary care physicians and general practitioners • The early diagnosis of skin cancer is important for the therapeutic procedure and reducing mortality rates. • Most remarkable features have been surveyed in this paper • Cost of a simple CDSS for skin assessment is low • Standardization of all steps in the CDSS procedure from the image acquisition until the feature extraction and the classification stages is considered essential
