Automated Analysis of the Pigment Network in Dermatoscopic Images of Melanocytic Skin Tumors

A method for recognition of the pigment network lines in dermatoscopic images of skin tumors is presented. The method provides calculation of characteristics of the pigment network lines and imaging of the obtained results. Experimental assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed method showed it to be promising for use in melanoma recognition systems. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
