Characteristics of the Structural Elements of the “Lines” in the Melanoma Recognition System

Abstract In this study, the problem of early diagnosis of one of the most dangerous malignant neoplasms of the skin—melanoma—is considered. A model of distinguishing structural elements (lines) in digital images of skin neoplasms in oncodermatology has been developed. The model is based on a combination of Otsu binarization and adaptive binarization of the original digital dermatoscopic image of skin neoplasms and subsequent skeletonization and filtration of false fragments of the lines.
