  • Abstract
    An automated dermoscopy system requires careful data processing and selection of the features used for the classification of images. Steps towards higher degree of integration are made by introducing natural computing techniques of image preprocessing. For feature selection a technique inspired by fractal box counting principle is presented. Nevi classification using this feature show promising results.
