Recent Trends in Computer-aided Diagnostic Systems for Skin Diseases: Theory, Implementation, and Analysis

by Saptarshi Chatterjee, Debangshu Dey, Sugata Munshi

Overview

Recent Trends in Computer-aided Diagnostic Systems for Skin Diseases: Theory, Implementation, and Analysis provides comprehensive coverage on the development of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems employing image processing and machine learning tools for improved, uniform evaluation and diagnosis (avoiding subjective judgment) of skin disorders. The methods and tools are described in a general way so that these tools can be applied not only for skin diseases but also for a wide range of analogous problems in the domain of biomedical systems. Moreover, quantification of clinically relevant information that can associate the findings of physicians/experts is the most challenging task of any CAD system. This book gives all the details in a step-by-step form for different modules so that the readers can develop each of the modules like preprocessing, feature extraction/learning, disease classification, as well as an entire expert diagnosis system themselves for their own applications. - Demonstrates extensive calculations for illustrating the theoretical analysis of advanced image processing and machine learning techniques - Provides a comprehensive coverage on the development of various signal processing tools for the extraction of statistical and clinically correlated features from skin lesion images - Describes image processing and machine learning techniques for improved uniform evaluation and diagnosis of skin disorders
