Multi-spectral imaging and analysis for classification of melanoma.
Wavelengths in the visible spectrum are selected for multi-spectral trans-illumination imaging of the skin lesions using the Nevoscope. The multi-spectral image data is analyzed using crisp and fuzzy partitioning techniques for classification of melanoma. It is shown that the multi-spectral images add the lesion depth and structural information to the superficial lesion characteristics obtained from the surface illumination images and hence, improve the sensitivity and specificity of melanoma diagnosis.
