Fuzzy Logic Color Detection: Blue Areas In Dermoscopy Melanoma Images, Mounika Lingala

Masters Theses

"Malignant melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer and is one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the world. Image analysis techniques for the early detection of melanoma are dependent upon the detection of multiple color shades in melanoma images. Use of magnified visible-light imaging by dermoscopy allows detailed investigation of these color shades. This research explores the fuzzy logic methods for the detection and characterization of blue color shades to discriminate melanoma from benign skin lesions. Standard thresholds are placed on the RGB dermoscopy images firstly and then the restrictiveness is explored by implementing fuzzy …
