Model for Assessing the Asymmetry of a Pigmented Neoplasm

Abstract The paper presents the results of the development of a method for recognizing skin neoplasms based on a model for assessing the asymmetry of the shape of the pigment area of the pathological growth of the epidermis and (or) dermis. Images of pigmented skin neoplasms obtained using a dermatoscope were considered as initial data. To analyze the images, a model was used to calculate the shape asymmetry coefficients obtained relative to the main axes of inertia of the neoplasm, which makes it possible to obtain values independent of the angle of rotation of the images.
