Skin Disease Detection Using Image Processing and Soft Computing

Abstract

Skin is the most important and most exposed part of the human body. Skin is very sensitive to touch and hence it requires more attention and care. It is found that despite taking much care, skin diseases are very common types of diseases in human populations. The effect of these diseases on the skin is very dangerous and they keep on spreading over the time. Therefore, to stop them spreading there is a need to develop such a system which recognizes these diseases at early stages. This paper presents a comparative study about various diseases found in the human skin. The techniques are used to recognize those diseases as early as possible. The study also compares the techniques, based on the total number of diseases it has identified. This paper analyzed that combination of different techniques gives the highest accuracy and enhances the performance of the designed system.
