Abstract: The paper presents the analysis of hyperspectral images for human skin cancer diagnosis. The hyperspectral imaging data contained backscattered spectra of normal skin and malignant skin tumors. The analysis of hyperspectral images provided the information about the shape and intensity of hemoglobin and melanin spectral lines for the differentiation of malignant pigmented skin neoplasms.

Keywords: hyperspectral visualization, backscattering spectroscopy, melanoma, nevi.
