Dermoscopy Image Analysis

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive skin imaging technique that uses optical magnification and either liquid immersion or cross-polarized lighting to make subsurface structures more visible when compared to conventional clinical images. It allows for the identification of dozens of morphological features that are particularly important in identifying malignant melanoma. This book summarizes the state of the art of the computerized analysis of dermoscopy images, covering dermoscopy image analysis from preprocessing to classification. The text also explores future directions for this exciting subfield of medical image analysis.
