Image Processing: CSE4019 Project Review-1

The document summarizes the steps of a skin cancer detection system using image processing and artificial neural networks. It first preprocesses images by resizing, adjusting contrast and brightness, converting to grayscale, and converting to binary. It then segments images by performing background subtraction, edge detection, and masking to isolate the skin lesion. Feature extraction then calculates geometric features like area, perimeter, and diameter from the segmented lesion image to classify the image using ANN.

Flow Diagram:
A.)Image Pre-Processing
The image of skin lesion is given to the computer diagnostic system can be
captured in any lighting condition or by using any camera. Hence, it needs to pre-
process. Here, the pre-processing is the process of image resizing (scaling) and
contrast and brightness modification, which is done in furtherance of compensating
the non-uniform illumination in the image.

Image scaling:
Image scaling is the course of action of resizing a digital image. The size of an
image is reduced or enlarged, the pixels that form the image become increasingly
visible, making the image appear soft.

RGB to grayscale image:


The rgb2gray function converts the true color image RGB to the grayscale
intensity image, by eliminating the saturation information.

Grayscale to Binary image:


Im2bw command converts the grayscale image to a binary image. The output
image replaces all pixels in the input image with luminance exceeding the level
with the value 1(white) and substitute all other pixels with the value 0 (black). If
we do not define the level, then im2bw uses the value 0.5.

B.) Segmentation
Image segmentation is the course of action of segregating an image into multiple
parts, which is used to identify objects or other relevant information in digital
images.

Background subtraction:
Background subtraction, also known as blob detection, is an emerging technique in
the fields of image processing wherein an image’s foreground is extracted for
further processing. Typically, an image’s regions of interest are objects in its
foreground.

Edge detection:
Edge detection is a significant image processing technique for catching the
boundaries of objects within images. It works by detecting discontinuities in
brightness.
Masking:
Masking involves setting the pixel values in an image to zero, or some other
“background” value. It is used to separate the lesion from the skin image. The
masked image obtained contains only the skin lesion.

Feature Extraction:
The foremost features of the Melanoma Skin Lesion are its Geometric Features.
Hence, we propose to extract the Geometric Features of the segmented skin lesion.
Here, we used some classic geometry features (Area, Perimeter, Greatest Diameter,
Circularity Index, Irregularity Index) adopted from the segmented image
containing only skin lesion, the image blob of the skin lesion is anal0ysed to
extract the geometrical features.
