Abstract :
We study several texture measures for the evaluation of the treatment of the burned skin. The tone, color and coarseness of scarred skin and normal skin are visually different. However, it is important to model such differences quantitatively using texture models. The texture measures we used include fractal dimension, co-occurrence matrix, gray-level difference and correlation functions etc. We compare the performance of these measures and discuss the possible future research directions
