Automatic Segmentation of Dermoscopic Images by Iterative Classification
Figure 2
(Left) The small automatically selected green boxes correspond to the skin seed regions used as initial training. The location is based on the brightest luminance in each quadrant. The blue box corresponds to the seed region for the lesion, selected as the region statistically most different from the skin seeds. The three middle images show intermediate iterative steps at iterations and the final iteration which is in (a), in (b). In these maps, yellow and blue pixels are those classified with high confidence as skin and lesion, respectively. The maps include also red and green pixels, corresponding to those pixels classified with low confidence as skin and lesion, respectively. The white contour in the rightmost figure is the final border obtained after postprocessing.
