Digital photography provides new powerful diagnostic tools in dermatology. Dermoscopy is a special photography technique which enables taking photos of skin lesions in chosen lighting conditions. Digital photography allows for seeing details of the skin changes under various enlargements and coloring. Computer-assisted techniques and image processing methods can be further used for image enhancement and analysis and for feature extraction and pattern recognition in the selected images. Special techniques used in skin-image processing are discussed in detail. Feature extraction methods and automated classification techniques based on statistical learning and model ensembling techniques provide very powerful tools which can assist the doctors in taking decisions. Performance of classifiers will be discussed in specific case of melanoma cancer diagnosis. The techniques have been tested on a large data set of images.
