Abstract :
We describe a system for automatic diagnosis of malignant melanoma based on digital dermoscopic images. The tool is designed for use with general practitioners, saving time and resources in the diagnostic process. A variety of indicative features are described mimicking the human approach for diagnosis. Segmentation, pattern recognition, and change detection are the important steps in our approach.
