Approach for the Wound Area Measurement with Mobile Devices

There are various causes related to the appearance of wounds in people that are cause several health problems. Earlier detection and easy monitoring is essential for the correct treatment of this problem. The pandemic time that we live in is causing the people not to go to the hospital to treat the various wounds. This paper performs the revision of the methods for measuring the wound size, but the wounds' color can detect other parameters. This study also proposed a technique for further implementing the detection of wounds with the camera available in off-the-shelf mobile devices. As future work, the method will be implemented to correct wound size in an Android application.
