title: Total dermoscopy score calculation using quantitative measurements in digital dermoscopy.
abstract: The main contributions of this paper are an automated approach for applying the ABCDE rules in a digital dermoscopy platform with fixed settings and a new registration method specially designed for aligning and comparing follow-up digital dermoscopy images in order to evaluate the evolution over time parameter E. Experimental evaluations of the registration method are reported for image pairs acquired during follow-up examinations.
