Asymmetry of Digital Images Describing Melanocytic Skin Lesions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 95))

Abstract

This paper presents a method for automatic identification of asymmetry in digital images containing melanocytic skin lesion. Our method is a part of the new system for classifying skin lesion using Stolz strategy, based on the primary ABCD rule.
