Selection of statistic textural features for skin disease characterization toward melanoma detection

To develop an efficient device that helps dermatologists to early evaluate and inspect a specific kind of skin disease, computer vision systems have been intensively studied. These systems replace the traditional screening ways which are manual and time-consuming. These systems use some measurable visual component describing the shape, color, and texture of skin diseases to recognize them and to specify their malignancy. This article will be concentrated on the importance of using some statistical features and extracting the most relevant features of texture-colored images by calculating their degree of characterization. Using these highly-rated static textural features, non-fatal skin disease and melanoma classification results are presented and discussed.
