A visual record of medical skin disease imaging using MATLAB tools

Presents a contribution in the field of computer vision in dermatology for the follow up of skin lesions. Several known skin lesions in the country are identified. The images of these lesions are captured and stored in a computer for further image processing. Several filtering and image processing techniques available in the MATLAB tools are applied to these images to produce their histograms and color distribution particularly in the region concerned. These proposed visual records of medical skin imaging can be analyzed further and served as a visual front end for developing a knowledge-based pre-diagnostics system to aid dermatologist in their work.
