Surveys on Detection of Melanoma through Image Processing Techniques

Abstract

In order to achieve an effective way to identify malignant melanoma stage without performing more number of skin biopsies, digital image at an early analysis of the images is investigated. For the detection of malignant melanoma, appropriate analyses are done on the tumour images according to the clinical characteristics that early melanoma possesses. In the last stage, classification is done based on the results obtained from the above mentioned analyses. The tumours are classified as either "potential malignant melanoma" or "non-melanoma". This can reduce the time spent and pain received by the patients in detecting early malignant melanoma.
