Abstract: A method for differentiation of pigmented skin neoplasms based on digital processing of optical images has been proposed. The optical images are detected using a digital camera and an etalon for its color and spatial calibration. The method implies segmentation and automatic differentiation of neoplasms based on 5 parameters –the diameter, area, color, shape and smoothness of margins of the neoplasm. It reveals clinical features of the neoplasm, required for diagnosis, and allows for calculating a probability of the neoplasms malignizaion. The proposed method has been verified using 360 imaging of pigmented neoplasms of the skin in vivo; among them: ordinary, dysplastic nevi of the skin and skin melanoma. The observed sensitivity and specificity of the proposed technique are 97% and 95%, correspondingly.
