| Research Abstract |
I had investigated mainly following two themes for making our Internet-based melanoma screening system fit for practical use. (1) Quantification of dermoscopic structures (2) Development of automated color calibration for dermoscopy images. For both themes, I had successfully achieved the objectives set out in the proposal. (1) Succeeded to build a recognition system that has statistically no difference with expert dermatologists in recognizing a total of 15 dermoscopic structures defined in ABCD rule and 7-point checklist. (2) Achieved equivalent color calibration performance for dermoscopy images in luminance, hue and saturation without any special devices.
