Abstract :
Quantitative analysis of skin wound is critical in objective evaluation of a therapy. In this paper, a robust wound segmentation method is presented. The proposed method uses gradient vector flow (GVF), therefore, the segmentation is quite stable to variation of color characteristics of a camera used for image capture or illumination.
