Abstract :
A new method for diagnosis of diabetes using thermographs is introduced, then its automatic application by means of digital image processing is discussed. Here a Laplacian-Gaussian kernel is used to extract the contour and thinning is used to obtain the corresponding temperature distribution of the hand-shape images. After this the temperature data is applied to the diagnosis model and the patients in the experiments are classified.
