Abstract :
This paper presents a method for the fully automatic surveying of cutaneous hemangiomas by means of a hemangioma segmentation and a ruler visible in the images. The algorithm computes the spatial resolution of an image. Hemangioma segmentation is accomplished by a single-layer perceptron classification by means of pixel color features. The algorithm was evaluated on a set of 120 images. It achieves satisfactory results on images with clearly visible, saturated hemangiomas
