Title
Cumulative Distance Histograms and their Application to the Identification of Melanoma
Synopsis
This research focuses on using a computer vision technique called “Invariant distance histograms”, to analyze border irregularity in skin lesions. This technique together with statistical methods enables us to compare the border of malignant melanoma samples to the border of common moles and to detect and quantize their difference.
