Comput Med Imaging Graph
March 2011
We describe a novel approach to detect and visualize pigment network structures in dermoscopic images, based on the fact that the edges of pigment network structures form cyclic graphs which can be automatically detected and analyzed. First we perform a pre-processing step of image enhancement and edge detection. The resulting binary edge image is converted to a graph and the defined feature patterns are extracted by finding cyclic subgraphs corresponding to skin texture structures.
