Abstract

The goal of our work was an initial preprocessing of dermoscopic images towards accurate lesion border detection. Four algorithms were proposed and analyzed: MS – algorithm using mean shift clustering, HE – algorithm using histogram equalization, TTH – algorithm using the top-hat transform, PCA – algorithm using principal component analysis. Those algorithms were tested on PH2 images database that contains 200 dermoscopic images, each with a mask of the lesion. Those algorithms were optimized using lesion mask from database and Jaccard index as a measure of similarity of both sets. Simple statistical analysis of indexes was used to compare proposed algorithms in term of their accuracy.
