Learning to Detect Blue–White Structures in Dermoscopy Images With Weak Supervision

Abstract: We propose a novel approach to identify one of the most significant dermoscopic criteria in the diagnosis of cutaneous Melanoma: the blue-whitish structure (BWS). In this paper, we achieve this goal in a Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) framework using only image-level labels indicating whether the feature is present or not. To this aim, each image is represented as a bag of (non-overlapping) regions where each region may or may not be identified as an instance of BWS. A probabilistic graphical model [1] is tr… Show more

“…Finally, the segmented ROI was classified using an SVM. Madooei et al [138] utilized a blue-whitish structure to differentiate melanoma from nevi lesions. Saez et al [139] utilized the color of lesions to classify these lesions as melanoma or nevi.…”
