Abstract. A semiautomatic segmentation method for images of allergic reactions in skin prick test is proposed. The method is based on elliptic model for the shape of the wheal, and it uses the kernel Fisher discriminant for grayscale projection and for measuring the separability of the object and the background areas. Experiments indicate that the method is robust and the results are close to those obtained manually.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
