This book was released on 2012 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical image segmentation is the most essential and crucial process in order to facilitate the characterization and visualization of the structure of interest in medical images. This work explains the task of segmenting skin lesions in Dermoscopy images using various Fuzzy clustering techniques for the early diagnosis of Malignant Melanoma. Malignant Melanoma is the most frequent type of skin cancer and its incidence has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnosis technique for the observation of pigmented skin lesions used in dermatology. Dermoscopic images have great potential in the early diagnosis of malignant melanoma, but their interpretation is time consuming and subjective, even for trained dermatologists.The various Fuzzy clustering techniques used are Fuzzy C Means Algorithm (FCM), Possibilistic C Means Algorithm and Hierarchical C Means Algorithm. The segmented images are compared with the ground truth image using various parameters such as False Positive Error (FPE), False Negative Error (FNE), Coefficient of similarity, Spatial overlap and their performance is evaluated

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2003 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: Pass grade, Kobe University (Faculty of Engineering, Department of Computer & Systems Engineering, Kitamura Lab), course: Doctor Course Information and Media Science, 41 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Malignant melanoma is a very dangerous kind of skin cancer. In order to treat malignant melanoma it must be detected as early as possible. However, when looking at a malignant melanoma by the naked eye, it can be mistaken as a nevus (benign skin lesion). Therefore, dermatologists use a microscope that shows the pigmented structure of the skin. This microscope is called "dermoscope". An irregular overall structure, an irregular border and several colors indicate that a skin lesion is malignant. A homogeneous structure, a regular border and few colors indicate that a lesion is benign. However, even when using a dermoscope a melanoma can be mistaken as a nevus. Therefore it is desirable to analyze dermoscopic images by a computer in order to classify them as malignant or benign. Before a dermoscopic image is classified, usually the skin lesion border is extracted. For this purpose, previously developed methods segment the image into regions of the same color (color segmentation) or into regions that fulfill a homogeneity criterion (region based segmentation). Color segmentation can be done using fuzzy c-means. When applying fuzzy c-means, the number of cluster centers corresponds to the number of distinguished colors and must be specified. However, the number of colors in dermoscopic images can vary and is not known in advance. The goal of this research is developing a method that automatically determines the number of clusters in color space. The clustering accuracy is evaluated by cluster validity index. Cluster validity indices describe how well a partition (cluster center set) represents the "natural" clusters of a data set. The method

This book was released on with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper implemented a new skin lesion detection method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) for optimizing the neutrosophic set (NS) operation to reduce the indeterminacy on the dermoscopy images. Then, k-means clustering is applied to segment the skin lesion regions. Therefore, the proposed method is called optimized neutrosophic k-means (ONKM). On the training images set, an initial value of α in the α-mean operation of the NS is used with the GA to determine the optimized α value.

This book was released on with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dermoscopic images suffer from irregular and vague boundaries. New directions established the neutrosophic set (NS) approaches for clustering, and segmenting the dermoscopic images. In this work, an accurate segmentation process was developed by mapping initially the dermoscopic images to the NS domain. Thus, the neutrosophic image was defined by three subsets, namely True (T ), Indeterminacy (I) and False (F). For accurate boundary detection and segmentation, different high pass (HP) filter types were used in the definition of I subset and low pass (LP) filter types in the definition of T .

Download or read book Computer Vision Techniques for the Diagnosis of Skin Cancer written by Jacob Scharcanski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in the utilization of computer vision techniques in the diagnosis of skin cancer. Malignant melanoma is one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the world. Early diagnosis is particularly important since melanoma can be cured with a simple excision if detected early. In recent years, dermoscopy has proved valuable in visualizing the morphological structures in pigmented lesions. However, it has also been shown that dermoscopy is difficult to learn and subjective. Newer technologies such as infrared imaging, multispectral imaging, and confocal microscopy, have recently come to the forefront in providing greater diagnostic accuracy. These imaging technologies presented in this book can serve as an adjunct to physicians and provide automated skin cancer screening. Although computerized techniques cannot as yet provide a definitive diagnosis, they can be used to improve biopsy decision-making as well as early melanoma detection, especially for patients with multiple atypical nevi.

They comment on and discuss various parts of and subjects and propositions introduced in the Handbook of Analytical Philosophy of Medicine from Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh, published by Springer in 2012. This volume reports on the fruitful exchange and debate that arose in the fuzzy community upon the publication of the Handbook. This was not only very much appreciated by the community but also seen as a critical starting point for beginning a new discussion. The results of this discussion, which involved many different perspectives from science and the humanities and was warmly encouraged by Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh himself, are accurately reported in this volume, which is intended to be a critical companion to Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh ́s handbook. Rudolf Seising is currently an adjunct researcher at the European Centre for Soft Computing in Mieres, Asturias (Spain) and a college lecturer at the Faculty of History and Arts, at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (Germany).
