Abstract

This paper studies the viability of a skin lesion diagnosis scheme based on fluorescence images. Three kinds of skin lesions are considered: actinitic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma and psoriasis. A wide and diverse set of simple parameters have been extracted and their discrimination potential is evaluated through an automatic diagnosis scheme based on the k-nearest neighbours. We use a sequential scanning technique that automatically selects the most relevant parameters for the addressed problem.
