ABSTRACT
An alternative approach for the evaluation of dermoscopic images is the Menzies method, where the presence of 1 or more out of 6 color classes indicates that the lesion should be considered a potential melanoma (Menzies 2001). The implementation of an image processing system based on the Menzies method does not require the segmentation stage, nor the subsequent extraction of geometric features, avoiding some of the potential errors in those stages. The purpose of this work is to investigate the applicability of the Menzies method for the development of an imageprocessing tool for dermoscopic image analysis.
