Abstract

Skin lesion color is one of the main features analyzed in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Thus, the relative skin color of a lesion is obtained by applying a simple algorithm for different regions of the skin image. Then, color histogram analysis over a set of images was used in order to compute fuzzy logic-based color descriptors of skin lesions to discriminate malignant melanoma from benign lesions in dermoscopy images.
